Server tool list (73)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| get_strategy | Get a strategy decision envelope for one of 10 options-based trading signals. signal enum values and what each answers: • flow_anomaly — directional options-flow imbalance: is call/put premium skewing bullish or bearish? • expiry_positioning — OPEX pin risk and iron-fly setup: should you fade into expiry? • zero_dte — same-day range compression: what is the 0DTE expected range and dealer regime? • dealer_regime — dealer gamma regime classifier: positive vs negative gamma and hedging pressure. • vol_carry — VRP carry credit-spread selection: is IV elevated enough to sell premium via credit spreads? • yield_enhancement — covered-call / cash-secured-put income overlay: optimal strike for yield capture. • surface_anomaly — SVI residual rich/cheap wing detection: where is the vol surface mispriced? • skew — 25-delta skew / risk-reversal signal: put vs call skew balance and direction. • term_structure — ATM-IV term-structure signal: contango vs backwardation and roll opportunities. • tail_pricing — downside-tail richness signal: are OTM puts cheap or expensive vs history? |
| get_vix_state | VIX regime vs SPX realized volatility: overvixing/undervixing/neutral label, spread (VIX minus SPX RV20d), ratio, and interpretation. Use to classify fear gauge premium, identify contango/backwardation in vol term structure, assess short-vol vs long-vol environment, or time volatility-selling strategies. |
| get_surface | Get the live 50x50 implied-volatility surface grid over (tenor, log-moneyness). Built from OTM contract IVs with bilinear interpolation. |
| get_stock_summary | Get comprehensive stock summary: price, ATM IV, historical vol, VRP, skew, term structure, options flow, exposure data, and macro context (VIX, Fear & Greed, yield curve). |
| get_stock_flow | Raw intraday stock trade-flow for one symbol. Views: 'recent' (recent stock trades, newest first), 'summary' (stock trade-flow totals), 'blocks' (large stock trades), 'history' (minute stock-flow buckets, newest first), 'cumulative' (cumulative net stock flow), 'bars' (multi-resolution OHLCV+flow bars, oldest first, for live chart feeds). |

| post_screener | Find, rank, and compare symbols across the whole universe in ONE call. Use this whenever the user does NOT name a single ticker but asks which / what / find / scan / screen / rank / top / most / highest / lowest across stocks (e.g. 'which names have the most negative gamma', 'rank tickers by VRP', 'highest IV stocks right now', 'most pinned symbols today', 'cheap IV with positive gamma'). Prefer this over calling per-symbol tools in a loop. Cross-sectional screen/rank by GEX, VRP, 0DTE dominance, IV/term structure, skew, dealer risk, and strategy scores, with filters, sort, select, and custom formulas. Growth = top 10 symbols; Alpha = ~250 symbols + formulas. |
