MCP tools · 32 exposed · ~6,455 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
call_implicit_get ~261

Call an exchange-specific implicit REST endpoint over HTTP GET, for data the unified API does not cover. Pass the implicit method name in the "method" argument (e.g. "publicGetTickerPrice"); these are exchange-specific — find them with describe_method {"query": ..., "exchange": ...} (its results list the name to pass here). The response is the raw exchange payload. Consult the exchange API reference (describe_exchange .urls.doc) and the ccxt manual: https://docs.ccxt.com/

NameTypeReqDescription
accountstringconfigured account name for authenticated (private/signed) GET endpoints
exchangestringyesexchange id, e.g. "binance" — validated against ccxt.exchanges; discover ids with list_exchanges
methodstringyesimplicit method name whose HTTP verb is GET, e.g. "publicGetTickerPrice" (from describe_method)
paramsobjectextra exchange-specific parameters passed through to ccxt unchanged (e.g. {"until": 1673000000000}) — discover supported keys with describe_method
predictionbooleanset true to use the prediction-markets variant of an exchange that exists in both namespaces (e.g. hyperliquid)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

call_implicit_write ~204

Call an exchange-specific implicit REST endpoint over POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH on an account with "implicitWrites" enabled — covers exchange features the unified API does not (including account/key management). No unified validation exists for raw endpoints, so every call previews and requires confirmation, and is journaled. Endpoint names: describe_method {"query": ..., "exchange": ...}; payload per the exchange API reference (describe_exchange .urls.doc).

NameTypeReqDescription
accountstringyesconfigured account name — discover with list_accounts; credentials are never tool parameters
confirmstringconfirmation token from the preview response — repeat the identical call with this token to execute
methodstringyesimplicit method name with a non-GET verb, e.g. "privatePostMarginOrder"
paramsobjectextra exchange-specific parameters passed through to ccxt unchanged (e.g. {"until": 1673000000000}) — discover supported keys with describe_method

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

call_read_method ~306

Escape hatch covering every unified read method not served by a dedicated tool (fetchFundingRate, fetchLedger, fetchOpenInterest, fetchLiquidations, fetchEvent, fetchSettlements, …). Only fetch*/load* methods are accepted — writes are structurally rejected. Get the signature first with describe_method. Docs: https://docs.ccxt.com/

NameTypeReqDescription
accountstringconfigured account name — required for private reads like fetchLedger
argsarraypositional arguments per the describe_method usage line; ISO8601 strings become ms timestamps; null skips an optional argument
exchangestringyesexchange id, e.g. "binance" — validated against ccxt.exchanges; discover ids with list_exchanges
includeInfobooleankeep the raw exchange payload inside unified structures
marketTypestringmarket type routing for exchanges with several (e.g. "spot", "swap", "future", "option") — sets options.defaultType on a dedicated instance
methodstringyesunified method name matching ^(fetch|load), e.g. "fetchFundingRate"
paramsobjectextra exchange-specific parameters passed through to ccxt unchanged (e.g. {"until": 1673000000000}) — discover supported keys with describe_method
predictionbooleanset true to use the prediction-markets variant of an exchange that exists in both namespaces (e.g. hyperliquid)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

call_write_method ~217

Dispatch the unified write long tail on a trading-enabled account: cancelOrders, cancelOrdersForSymbols, cancelAllOrdersAfter, setPositionMode, addMargin, reduceMargin, setMargin, borrowCrossMargin, borrowIsolatedMargin, repayCrossMargin, repayIsolatedMargin, closePosition, closeAllPositions. Always previews and requires confirmation. Batch order placement is deliberately excluded — use create_order per order so the notional caps apply. Signatures: describe_method.

NameTypeReqDescription
accountstringyesconfigured account name — discover with list_accounts; credentials are never tool parameters
argsarraypositional arguments per describe_method; null skips an optional argument
confirmstringconfirmation token from the preview response — repeat the identical call with this token to execute
methodstringyesone of the allowlisted method names
paramsobjectextra exchange-specific parameters passed through to ccxt unchanged (e.g. {"until": 1673000000000}) — discover supported keys with describe_method

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

cancel_all_orders ~129

Cancel every open order on an account, optionally restricted to one symbol. The preview lists the orders that would be canceled.

NameTypeReqDescription
accountstringyesconfigured account name — discover with list_accounts; credentials are never tool parameters
confirmstringconfirmation token from the preview response — repeat the identical call with this token to execute
paramsobjectextra exchange-specific parameters passed through to ccxt unchanged (e.g. {"until": 1673000000000}) — discover supported keys with describe_method
symbolstringonly cancel orders on this unified symbol

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

cancel_order ~111

Cancel one open order by id. No confirmation step — canceling reduces risk and must never be blocked.

NameTypeReqDescription
accountstringyesconfigured account name — discover with list_accounts; credentials are never tool parameters
idstringyesorder id
paramsobjectextra exchange-specific parameters passed through to ccxt unchanged (e.g. {"until": 1673000000000}) — discover supported keys with describe_method
symbolstringunified symbol (required by many exchanges)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

create_order ~387

Place an order on a trading-enabled account (works on prediction exchanges with outcome handles as the symbol). Validated against market precision/limits and the account's notional caps. Whether it returns a preview + confirmToken first depends on the account's "confirm" policy: always = every order is previewed; live (the default) = only orders on a LIVE account are previewed, sandbox/demo execute immediately; never = no preview. So on a sandbox/demo account under the default policy an order executes without a confirm step. A stop/trigger order also returns meta.note flagging that conditional orders may not appear in get_orders even when live — confirm before treating the stop as guaranteed protection. Use "cost" instead of "amount" to market-buy by quote value where supported. Exchange-specific order params (triggerPrice, timeInForce, postOnly, reduceOnly, …): describe_method {"method": "createOrder", "exchange": ...}.

NameTypeReqDescription
accountstringyesconfigured account name — discover with list_accounts; credentials are never tool parameters
amountnumberamount in base currency / contracts / shares
confirmstringconfirmation token from the preview response — repeat the identical call with this token to execute
costnumberspend this quote-currency value instead of specifying an amount (market buy/sell by cost, where the exchange supports it)
paramsobjectextra exchange-specific parameters passed through to ccxt unchanged (e.g. {"until": 1673000000000}) — discover supported keys with describe_method
pricenumberlimit price — required for limit orders
sidestringyes
symbolstringyesunified symbol (outcome handle on prediction exchanges)
typestringyesorder type — usually "limit" or "market"; exchange-specific types pass through

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

describe_exchange ~101

One exchange's supported unified methods, market types, timeframes, required credential fields, sandbox availability and documentation URLs. Per-method detail lives in describe_method.

NameTypeReqDescription
exchangestringyesexchange id, e.g. "binance" — validated against ccxt.exchanges; discover ids with list_exchanges
predictionbooleanset true to use the prediction-markets variant of an exchange that exists in both namespaces (e.g. hyperliquid)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

describe_method ~213

Search unified method names by keyword, or get one method's signature and parameter documentation. With "exchange" it adds that exchange's own docs (including supported params.* keys and links to the exchange API reference), per-market-type feature support, and searches its implicit (exchange-specific) endpoints too. Full ccxt manual: https://docs.ccxt.com/

NameTypeReqDescription
exchangestringexchange id for per-exchange docs, feature support and implicit endpoints; when omitted a reference exchange (binance) is used, so implicit-endpoint results are binance-specific — pass "exchange" to…
methodstringexact method name to describe, e.g. "fetchOHLCV" (or an implicit endpoint name when "exchange" is set)
predictionbooleanset true to use the prediction-markets variant of an exchange that exists in both namespaces (e.g. hyperliquid)
querystringkeyword search over method names, e.g. "funding"

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

edit_order ~190

Modify price/amount of an open order. On exchanges without native edit, ccxt emulates it as cancel-then-replace — queue position is lost and the cancel can succeed while the replace fails. Runs the full order validation and confirmation.

NameTypeReqDescription
accountstringyesconfigured account name — discover with list_accounts; credentials are never tool parameters

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_deposit_address ~135

Deposit address for a currency on a funds-enabled account (creates one where none exists and the exchange supports creation). Gated behind the funds tier because transcript-visible addresses invite substitution scams — always verify addresses out-of-band before sending funds.

watch_read ~570

Get the latest data from a stream. For a STATE stream (streamKind "state": ticker(s), order book(s), ohlcv, balance, positions, ...) it returns the COMPLETE current snapshot in "latest" — the full merged set, so call it whenever you need the current value; "updatesSinceRead" tells you how much changed since you last read. The shape of "latest" mirrors the fetch* method: a single object for watchTicker/watchOrderBook/watchBalance, keyed by symbol for watchTickers/watchBidsAsks ({"BTC/USDT": {...}}), an array for watchPositions, and nested by symbol then timeframe for watchOHLCV ("latest"["BTC/USDT"]["1m"] = [[ts,o,h,l,c,v], ...]). For an EVENT stream (streamKind "events": trades, orders, my trades, liquidations) it returns new updates oldest-first in "events" plus a "nextCursor" — thread that back as "cursor" on each poll so you do not re-receive (double-count) old items. Each "events" element is a wrapper {seq, timestamp, datetime, data} where "data" holds the record(s) for that tick (an array — ccxt delivers a batch per update, e.g. events[i].data is the trades from that tick). "moreBuffered": true means call again with nextCursor for more, and "missedBeforeBuffer" > 0 means older updates were evicted before you read them. Set waitForChange:true to BLOCK until the next update arrives (or timeout) instead of returning immediately — the efficient way to wait for a slow event like an order fill or a position change ("timedOut": true means the wait elapsed with nothing new).

cursorintegerEVENT streams only: the nextCursor from your previous watch_read (omit on the first read). Ignored for state streams.
depthintegerorder-book streams only: levels per side to return in "latest" (default 20, max 100). Use depth:1 for just top-of-book (best bid/ask) — much cheaper when comparing many venues.

watch_subscribe ~592

Open a background WebSocket subscription to a ccxt.pro watch* method so the agent can pull fresh data on demand. Returns a subscriptionId and a "streamKind". STATE streams are snapshots of "what is X right now" — watchTicker(s), watchOrderBook(ForSymbols), watchOHLCV(ForSymbols), watchBalance, watchPositions, watchBidsAsks, watchMarkPrice(s), watchFundingRate(s): watch_read returns the COMPLETE current set in "latest" (the server merges live updates into a full snapshot, so a multi-symbol stream always shows every subscribed symbol, not just the one that just ticked). EVENT streams are logs of discrete events — watchTrades and the private watchOrders/watchMyTrades/watch(My)Liquidations (private ones need an account): watch_read returns each new item oldest-first in "events" with a cursor. Call watch_unsubscribe to stop; streams auto-stop after 10 minutes with no read. Not every exchange streams every method — check describe_exchange.
