    get_dataset_statsDiscover what data is available before querying: date ranges, contract counts, symbol counts and sector coverage for the unusual-activity dataset and its daily aggregates. Call this first when unsure about available history.
    get_unusual_activityContract-level unusual options activity scan across 7,000+ US stocks (the dataset behind OptionsBell alerts). Filter by symbols, side and thresholds: Vol/OI ratio, premium (USD), IV, days-to-expiration. Rows include strike, expiry, volume, open interest, IV, delta, sector and an estimated premium. Use for questions like 'what unusual put buying hit TSLA today?'
    get_symbol_flowEvery unusual contract on a single ticker, sorted by Vol/OI. Use when the question is about one specific stock's unusual options flow.
    get_top_printsThe day's biggest options bets ranked by estimated premium - the same view OptionsBell alert emails lead with. Perfect for 'what were the largest options trades today?'
    get_flow_historyEnd-of-day series of one symbol's UNUSUAL options flow (aggregated from the contracts that passed the unusual filter - not the full tape): daily call/put volume, premium, C/P ratios, average IV, net delta and the consecutive-day streak. ~75 trading days - the series behind back-tests and 'how has unusual flow on NVDA developed?'
    get_flow_streaksSymbols with unusual options activity on N+ consecutive trading days, with the dominant side (call/put). Persistent unusual flow is a stronger signal than a single print - use for 'where does money keep showing up?'
    get_expiry_concentrationWhere the day's unusual premium sits along the expiry axis, in DTE buckets (0-7, 8-30, 31-90, 90+) with call/put splits. Heavy short-dated premium reads as event bets; heavy long-dated as positioning.
    get_flow_sentimentBullish/bearish classification of each symbol's unusual flow with a 0-9 strength score, based on call/put volumes, premium and net delta. Pass a symbol for that ticker's sentiment time series; omit it for the cross-market snapshot (filterable by sector or minimum strength).
    get_iv_rankIV rank and IV percentile per symbol against its rolling history (needs 20+ days). Pass a symbol for its IV-rank time series; omit it for a ranked snapshot (e.g. side=put&min_rank=0.8 finds elevated put IV).
    get_oi_changesDay-over-day open-interest change per symbol (total, calls, puts) - fresh positioning being built or unwound. Pass a symbol for its OI-change series; omit it for market-wide gainers/losers.
    get_sector_flowWhich GICS sectors the day's unusual options premium is concentrating in: total premium, volume, average net delta and bullish/bearish symbol counts per sector.
    get_market_regimeMarket-wide breadth of unusual flow per trading day: breadth score 0-100, aggregate call/put ratio, regime label (bullish/bearish/mixed) and signal counts. Use for 'what's the overall tone of the unusual-flow tape?'
