    assets_by_metric_toolA powerful metrics-based project filtering and sorting tool that works with cryptocurrency assets based on their metrics and allows for ordered, paginated results. The tool allows for filtering assets by a metric and sorting them according to that same metric in ascending or descending metric, or just to sort the assets by a metric without filtering. This tool allows you to discover projects that meet specific criteria by analyzing their metrics over time periods. You can filter projects by absolute values (greater_than/less_than thresholds) or by percentage changes, or just sort projects by some metric. ## When to use vs other metric tools This tool scans the whole asset universe and returns one aggregated value per matching asset — use it for "which assets satisfy X" and "top N by X". It never returns a timeseries: for the values of a metric over time for already-known slugs use `fetch_metric_data_tool`. To check that a metric exists (or fix a mistyped metric/slug) use `metrics_and_assets_discovery_tool`. ## Use Cases - Get top 10 assets by marketcap, sorted in descending order - Get top 50 assets with highest dev_activity_1d - Find assets with price more than $10 - Discover tokens whose price increased by more than 50% in the last 30 days - Screen for projects with market cap less than $100M - Identify assets that have dev_activity_1d decline by more than 20% in the past month ## Examples - Get projects that have a price_usd in the last 24 hours and it's greater_than $500. Get the first 20 ordered by price_usd in descending order `{metric: "price_usd", operator: :greater_than, threshold: 500.0, from: "utc_now-24h", to: "utc_now", sort: "desc, page: 1, page_size: 20}` - Find projects whose price_usd today is 25% higher than 7 days ago, sorted by the highest percent increase in descending order. Get the first 100. `{metric: "price_usd", operator: :percent_up, threshold: 25.0, from: "utc_now-7d", to: "utc_now", sort: "desc", page: 1, page_size: 100}` - P
    combined_trends_toolCombined trends tool that fetches trending words, stories, and documents in parallel. This tool provides a unified view of all trending data - words with their documents and stories - in a single response across all crypto projects. ## When to use vs `trending_stories_tool` This is a superset of `trending_stories_tool`: same stories, plus trending words, their context and AI-generated bull/bear summaries. It calls an LLM, so it is slower and has a tighter per-tool rate-limit sub-cap than every other tool. If only trending stories are needed, call `trending_stories_tool` instead; set `include_words: false` / `include_stories: false` to drop a half that is not needed. Do not call both tools for the same question. ## Parameters - `time_period` - Time period for trending data (e.g., '1h', '6h', '1d', '7d'). Defaults to '1h' (last hour). - `size` - Number of items per category to return (max 30). Defaults to 10. - `include_stories` - Include trending stories in response. Defaults to true. - `include_words` - Include trending words in response. Defaults to true. ## Response - `trends` - Combined trending data containing stories and words. - `metadata` - Request metadata including time period, size, and included data types. - `errors` - Any non-fatal errors encountered during data fetching. ## Trending Data Structure ### Stories - `title` - Title of the trending story. - `summary` - Summary of the story. - `score` - Trending score. - `query` - Search query used to find the story. - `related_tokens` - List of related crypto tokens (format: "BTC_bitcoin"). - `bullish_sentiment_ratio` - Bullish sentiment ratio. - `bearish_sentiment_ratio` - Bearish sentiment ratio. ### Words - `word` - The trending word. - `score` - Trending score. - `slug` - Associated project slug (if word is project-related). - `summary` - AI-generated summary of discussions. - `bullish_summary` - Summary of bullish sentiment. - `bearish_summary` - Summary of bearish sentiment. - `positive_sentim
    fetch_insights_toolFetch full text content for specific santiment crypto insights IDs
    fetch_metric_data_toolFetch metric timeseries for one metric and one or many slugs. Defaults: last 30 days (time_period="30d"), interval="1d". Use this when the assets are already known and the values over time matter. For the opposite direction — "which assets satisfy X" / "top N by X", one aggregated value per asset across the whole universe — use `assets_by_metric_tool`. To confirm a metric exists for a slug first, use `metrics_and_assets_discovery_tool`; to draw the result, use `show_chart`.
    insight_discovery_toolList Santiment insights (analyst-written crypto articles) published in a lookback window. Returns metadata only — id, title, tags, author, link, published_at, prediction — never the article body. ## When to use - The user asks what Santiment analysts have written or published recently. - As step 1 of a two-step read: discover ids here, then pass them to `fetch_insights_tool` for the full text. ## When not to use - Full text of an insight — use `fetch_insights_tool` (it needs ids, so call this tool first). - What the market is talking about right now — use `trending_stories_tool` (stories only) or `combined_trends_tool` (stories + trending words). Insights are human-authored articles, not live social signal. - Numeric metric timeseries for an asset — use `fetch_metric_data_tool`. - Ranking or screening assets by a metric — use `assets_by_metric_tool`. ## Parameters - `time_period` (optional, default `"30d"`) — lookback window as `<integer><unit>`, unit one of `s`, `m`, `h`, `d`, `w`, `y` (e.g. `"12h"`, `"7d"`, `"90d"`, `"1y"`). The window is always `now - time_period` .. `now`; absolute dates and future ranges are not supported. An unparsable value returns an error, not a default. There is no tag, author, asset or full-text filter — filter the returned list yourself. ## Behavior - Read-only: no writes, no state change, nothing destructive. - Requires an authenticated Santiment account (API key or OAuth token); every call counts against the account plan's MCP rate limits. - Returns only published, moderator-approved insights, newest first, hard capped at 100 per call. A wide `time_period` can hit that cap and silently omit the oldest insights — if `total_count` is 100, narrow the window and call again. ## Response JSON object: { "insights": [ { "id": 1234, // integer, feed to fetch_insights_tool "title": "...", "tags": ["BTC", "bitcoin"], // asset tick
    metrics_and_assets_discovery_toolCatalog lookup: which metrics and which crypto assets (slugs) Santiment supports, and whether a given metric exists for a given asset. Returns names and metadata only — it never returns metric values or timeseries. ## When to use - Resolve a name before any data call: turn "Ethereum" into the slug `ethereum`, or "active addresses" into the metric `daily_active_addresses`. - Check availability before calling `fetch_metric_data_tool`, `assets_by_metric_tool` or `show_chart`, so a bad slug/metric does not waste a data call. - Recover from a "metric/slug not supported" error from any other tool. ## When not to use - Actual metric values over time — use `fetch_metric_data_tool`. - Ranking, filtering or screening assets by a metric value — use `assets_by_metric_tool`. - Rendering a chart — use `show_chart`. - Trending words/stories or insights — use `combined_trends_tool` or `insight_discovery_tool`. Those data sets are not in this catalog. ## Parameters Both parameters are optional and the four combinations do four different things: | Arguments | Returns | |----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------| | `{}` | Every supported metric and every supported asset | | `{"slug": ...}` | All metrics available for that one asset | | `{"metric": ...}` | All assets that support that one metric | | `{"slug":..., "metric":...}`| Whether that exact pair is available (validation) | - `slug` — lowercase, hyphen-separated asset id: `"bitcoin"`, `"ethereum"`, `"avalanche"`. Not a ticker: use `"bitcoin"`, not `"BTC"`. One slug per call; lists are not accepted. - `metric` — lowercase snake_case metric id: `"price_usd"`, `"marketcap_usd"`, `"daily_active_addresses"`. One metric per call. Examples: {} {"slug": "ethereum"} {"metric": "price_usd"} {"slug": "bitcoin", "metric": "daily_active_address
    show_chartRender a Santiment chart with an asset's price (OHLC) plus an optional overlay metric in a second pane. The widget that consumes this tool is built on the Santiment chart library (lightweight-charts under the hood), so the response is render-ready — the client just feeds each `series` entry into the chart unchanged. ## Parameters - `slug` — asset slug (e.g. `bitcoin`, `ethereum`). Defaults to `bitcoin`. - `primary` — what goes into the main pane. - `"price"` (default) — OHLC candlestick. - any metric name from the catalog — line/area instead of candles. - `overlay` — optional metric name to render in a second pane. Allowed values are listed below. - `range` — `24h`, `7d`, `30d`, `90d`, `1y`. Defaults to `30d`. ## Available overlay metrics (catalog) social_volume_total, social_dominance_total, sentiment_balance_total, sentiment_weighted_total, daily_active_addresses, network_growth, transaction_volume_usd, velocity, mvrv_usd, nvt, realized_value_usd, mvrv_long_short_diff_usd, exchange_balance, whale_transaction_count_100k_usd_to_inf, top_holders_held_supply_percent, dev_activity, github_activity, volume_usd, marketcap_usd, funding_rate_perp.
    trending_stories_toolFetch current trending crypto stories with sentiment analysis ## When to use vs `combined_trends_tool` Prefer this tool when only stories are needed: it is the cheap, fast path and has no per-tool rate-limit sub-cap. `combined_trends_tool` is a superset — same stories plus trending words, their context and AI-generated bull/bear summaries — but it calls an LLM, so it is slower and capped much lower per plan. Use it only when trending *words* or those summaries are actually needed, and never call both for the same question. ## Parameters - `time_period` - Time period for trending stories (e.g., '1h', '6h', '1d', '7d'). Defaults to '1h' (last hour). - `size` - Number of trending stories to return (max 10). Defaults to 10. ## Response - `trending_stories` - List of trending stories. - `time_period` - Time period for trending stories. - `size` - Number of trending stories to return. - `period_start` - Start time of the time period. - `period_end` - End time of the time period. - `total_time_periods` - Total number of time periods. ## Trending stories - `title` - Title of the story. - `summary` - Summary of the story. - `bearish_sentiment_ratio` - Bearish sentiment ratio. - `bullish_sentiment_ratio` - Bullish sentiment ratio. - `score` - Score of the story. - `query` - Query used to find the story. - `related_tokens` - List of related tokens. They have the format `BTC_bitcoin` - first part is the ticker, second part is the slug in Sanbase.
