    decker.get_signalsActive trading signals for the current user (with Skill Overlay applied), in customer-facing shape: coordinates (entry/target/stop), decision (ENTER/WAIT/SKIP — is_actual_trigger=true only for ENTER; WAIT/SKIP are standing candidates, not executed triggers), action_gate posture (GO/WATCH/HOLD — a stance, not an order command), progress, MTF verdict, and a plain-language summary_ko line. risk_reward_ratio is computed on the DISPLAYED coordinates (after overlay). Signals are retained rather than cut when they age (turn-retention policy) — read freshness_state (open|aged) / age_bars / freshness_sec before treating an old PENDING row as current. Filtered by symbols / min_progress / action_gate — action_gate here filters the CURRENT-MOMENT representative state, it does not search history (almost always 0 rows unless a gate is GO right now); for past GO events with their entry/target/stop and realized performance use decker.get_trigger_history instead. object_context (W1-C1 standard object block, present when a recent trigger bar exists): my_anchor / opp_anchor (reversal destination) / judgment_ref / geometry / why (action_gate + trigger_kind only — internal reason codes are scrubbed on this customer surface, use decker.get_market_state for those) / reverse_branch context (object_context.reverse_direction_conflict is present only when a local reversal shows stage='confirmed' but the swing's confirmed direction still disagrees — read it before treating reverse_branch.stage='confirmed' as a swing-level reversal). null on non-trigger bars or symbols outside the narrative universe (e.g. individual KRX stocks). Before placing any order through any execution tool, check the intent with decker.validate_intent.
    decker.get_assemblyMulti-timeframe optimal-path assembly per symbol (STRATEGY_LAYER §8): one deterministic machine verdict combining all live timeframes — direction, grade (aligned | structure+pullback | exhaustion-reversal), entry (now vs wait, with source TF), stop (risk stop), target (upper-TF target), RR, and a conditional switch coordinate on mixed structure. Upper TF supplies the target (slower = higher success), lower TF supplies the entry. This is the single judgment authority — narrate or filter it, do not re-decide coordinates. Omit symbol for all 14 universe symbols. ⚠ grade='aligned' means no OPPOSING-direction row exists among the active timeframes — it does NOT mean every timeframe's gate is GO/actionable right now. Check matrix_summary[].gate per timeframe before treating 'aligned' as 'all timeframes tradeable now'.
    decker.get_readingAI-synthesized market reading for a symbol/timeframe, in customer-facing language: current state description, directional bias scores, bidirectional break targets, MTF verdict per timeframe, and an execution hint (stance + long/short setups). Engine-native raw fields are NOT exposed here — use the REST raw contract (GET /public/reading) or decker.get_market_state for those — except object_context (W1-C1 standard object block, explicit exception: my_anchor/opp_anchor/judgment_ref/geometry/reverse_branch + why limited to action_gate/trigger_kind (internal reason codes scrubbed on this customer surface), present when a recent trigger bar exists, null otherwise incl. individual KRX stocks). object_context.reverse_direction_conflict is present only when a local reversal shows stage='confirmed' but the swing's confirmed direction still disagrees — read it before treating reverse_branch.stage='confirmed' as a swing-level reversal. execution_hint.preferred_direction is derived from key_direction alone and is NOT guaranteed to have a matching long_setup/short_setup (they come from an independent break-target resolver) — check that the setup for the preferred side is non-null before treating preferred_direction as an actionable side.
    decker.get_viewThe engine's VIEW for a symbol — the same composed card the daily briefing sends (single composer, verbatim): overall verdict, big/main timeframe alignment, the current game narrative in plain language, coordinates (baseline ref_price / target / invalidation), 'at this price, this view', and recent self-scoring verdicts (receipts). layer=STATE_VIEW: a market-state reading, NOT a trade instruction. Prefer this over get_market_state when you want the interpreted view instead of raw engine fields. object_context (W1-C1 standard object block, present when a recent trigger bar exists): my_anchor/opp_anchor(reversal destination)/judgment_ref/geometry/why(action_gate+trigger_kind only, reason codes scrubbed on this customer surface)/reverse_branch context (object_context.reverse_direction_conflict is present only when a local reversal shows stage='confirmed' but the swing's confirmed direction still disagrees — read it before treating reverse_branch.stage='confirmed' as a swing-level reversal). null on non-trigger bars or symbols outside the narrative universe. Before placing any order through any execution tool, check the intent with decker.validate_intent.
    decker.get_market_stateMarket State v0 — current engine structural state for a symbol/timeframe (latest evaluated bar, persisted engine emit read as-is, zero recompute). DOMAIN FRAME (why this engine exists): the market is read as a TARGET GAME — every coordinate comes from a *verified anchor* (a past level where a triggered move actually succeeded). The `game` block tells you the context that matters: game.status = forming_target (new anchor set, awaiting test) | testing_target (price is testing whether the declared target holds) | direction_resolved (game decided, price traveling); game.target = WHO is being judged (anchor id/phase/band); game.progress_dest = where price goes if the move proceeds (the opposing verified anchor to conquer); game.reverse_dest = where it goes if the move fails (the opposite house — also the stop logic's home); game.why_gate = full gate derivation chain; game.zt_regime = output canonicality (restored = deterministic delta lineage). action_gate alone (GO/WATCH/HOLD) is only a posture — the game context is the information. RAW CONTRACT: fields are engine-native vocabulary (c_state, hold_reason, R_* risk enums …), NOT customer-facing prose — for a human-language view use decker.get_view (with tf) or decker.get_reading. layer=STATE: this is a market-state reading, NOT a trade instruction. Absent fields are null (engine did not emit that axis — no filling). IMPORTANT: top-level state.c_state/action_gate/trigger_kind reflect the TRIGGER SNAPSHOT (only populated on a bar that actually had a trigger event) — null on most bars is normal, not a data gap. For the always-present, every-bar-populated view of the same axes use game.phase.c_state / game.phase.action_gate instead (different freshness, same underlying engine state machine). Don't read a null top-level field as 'engine has no state' — check game.phase first. object_context (top-level, W1-C1 standard object block, present when a recent trigger bar exists): my_anchor/opp_anchor(reversal destination)/judgment_re
    decker.get_state_timelineMarket State v0 — per-bar state timeline for a symbol/timeframe (same schema as decker.get_market_state, except each item carries a SLIM `game` tag {status, target_id, zt_regime, provenance} instead of the full game block — read status transitions across bars to see how the target game unfolded (forming → testing → resolved/failed); ascending by bar_ts). Bars the engine did not emit are simply absent (honest gaps, no filling).
    decker.get_trigger_historyACTION axis — actual historical GO triggers (not standing WATCH/HOLD candidates) for a symbol, with entry/target/stop coordinates and realized performance (mfe_pct/mae_pct/exit_reason/exit_price from trigger_performance, null = still open). Distinct from decker.get_signals (which reflects only the current-moment state, not a searchable history — its action_gate filter answers 'what does symbol×tf look like right now', not 'when did this last fire'). Use this to answer 'what did the engine actually trigger recently and at what price' — decker.get_signals/get_market_state cannot answer that. direction is judgment_signals-native vocabulary ("long"/"short"), distinct from the "+"/"-" convention used by other tools — read as-is, no translation.
    decker.get_user_skillsTrading skill catalog + currently active overlay for this user. Returns 8 published skills (conservative_v0/standard_v0/aggressive_v0/default_v0/scalp_v0/tight_v0/wide_v0/swing_v0) and the user's selected one.
    decker.set_skill_overlayChange active trading skill overlay for this user. Immediately affects all subsequent get_signals calls and downstream channels.
    decker.validate_intentPre-trade gate check for a proposed order intent. Call this BEFORE placing any order through any execution tool (e.g. a broker MCP's review→place flow). Checks the intent (symbol + side) against Decker's deterministic market state: engine action_gate (GO/WATCH/HOLD — a transition posture, not an order command), current structural state, and the active signal's direction / invalidation (stop) coordinates. Returns a stance reading, NOT an approval or rejection: the vocabulary is the engine gate as-is plus a mechanical side_alignment (aligned/opposed vs the active signal's direction). covered=false means the engine does not emit state for this symbol — treat as unknown, not as HOLD. top-level action_gate can be null even when covered=true — this is not a missing field, it means the current bar has no fresh trigger reading; check gate_null_reason ('no_gate_available' = neither the current bar nor the carried-forward signal had a gate at all, vs 'signal_stale' = a value existed but the underlying signal exceeded the staleness threshold and was deliberately suppressed rather than served as a confident-but-old answer). The order decision and responsibility remain with the calling agent/user. Every check is persisted to an auditable decision ledger (check_id). signal.object_context (W1-C1 standard object block, present when a recent trigger bar exists): my_anchor/opp_anchor(reversal destination)/judgment_ref/geometry/why(action_gate+trigger_kind only, reason codes scrubbed)/reverse_branch context (object_context.reverse_direction_conflict is present only when a local reversal shows stage='confirmed' but the swing's confirmed direction still disagrees — read it before treating reverse_branch.stage='confirmed' as a swing-level reversal) — null when there is no active signal or no trigger bar.
    decker.get_positionsAxis③ (Order/Execution) — this user's actual exposure: real open futures positions (execution_mode=real, with live sl_price/tp_price), virtual (paper) open positions, and the last 10 closed round-trips per mode. This is what your money actually did, distinct from decker.get_signals (axis②, what the engine recommends) — use this before deciding whether to place another order (avoid duplicate/over-exposure) and to check current protective stop/target on a real position.
    decker.place_orderAxis③ (Order/Execution) — unlike every other tool here, this one moves money. It places a market order through DECKER'S OWN execution engine (same path as the decker-ai.com chat trading UI, source='mcp') — it does NOT hand off to your own broker connection or exchange account; Decker executes using whatever exchange credentials this user has separately linked to their Decker account on the website. execution_mode (virtual|real) is NOT chosen by the caller — it is resolved server-side from this user's account settings (user_settings.execution_mode) AND the platform's real-trading kill switch; a real-money order requires both an explicit user opt-in AND role/tier eligibility (PRO/ENTERPRISE or admin) AND passing the tier's hard notional/leverage/daily-count caps (checked here before dispatch — violation blocks the order, does not downgrade it to virtual). The response always states which mode actually executed — treat 'virtual' in the response as authoritative even if you expected real. Restricted to the crypto-6 universe (BTCUSDT/ETHUSDT/SOLUSDT/BNBUSDT/XRPUSDT/DOGEUSDT) for this MCP path — HL-synthetic and KRX symbols are read-only via other tools. Call decker.validate_intent first to read the engine's current stance; this tool does not check it for you. Positions are tracked as ONE net row per user+symbol+mode, not per order — if you already hold a position on this symbol, this order nets into it and the response's pre_existing_position field says so. A later close_position call closes the combined total, not just what this call added.
    decker.close_positionAxis③ (Order/Execution) — closes (or partially reduces) an existing position through DECKER'S OWN execution engine (see decker.place_order for what that means — same account-linkage requirement applies here for real positions). Unlike place_order, there is no crypto-6 restriction — this reduces risk, not adds it, so any symbol you actually hold (including HL-synthetic/KRX paper positions) can be closed. Mode is NOT chosen by the caller — this looks up whatever position(s) actually exist for the symbol (real via live exchange query, virtual via the paper ledger) and closes whichever are open; if both a real and a virtual position exist for the same symbol, both are closed and the response reports execution_mode as 'mixed'. No open position for the symbol = a clean not-found response, not an error — safe to call speculatively.
    decker.update_protective_stopsAxis③ (Order/Execution) — modifies the stop-loss and/or take-profit on an EXISTING open position. There is no cancel_order tool because Decker only places market orders (there is no resting order to cancel) — the actual gap this fills is modifying protective stops on a position you already hold. real: cancels the old exchange stop/take-profit order(s) and places new ones at the given price(s) (new order placed first, old one canceled only after — no unprotected window). virtual: updates the paper position's stop_loss/take_profit columns directly (polled by the paper monitor). Provide at least one of sl_price/tp_price — the other side, if omitted, is left at its current value. If both a real and a virtual position are open for this symbol, pass mode explicitly or the call is rejected asking which one.
