MCP tools · 6 exposed · ~957 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
analyze_portfolio ~222

Whole-portfolio risk and diversification analysis for 2 to 30 US stocks or ETFs: which positions are redundant, where the risk concentrates (Euler risk contributions), what actually diversifies, portfolio volatility, beta and market R2, diversification ratio, effective number of independent bets, correlation blocks that move together, max drawdown of the mix vs SPY, and issuer-sourced holdings-overlap warnings between the ETFs held. Use compare_pair for just two assets. Covers ~4,700 US-listed stocks and ETFs only (no crypto, no foreign listings, no inverse/leveraged short funds, no intraday data); figures use weekly closes and refresh once per trading day. Unknown tickers return an error: resolve them with resolve_symbol first.

compare_pair ~211

Correlation (weekly returns), annualized covariance, beta vs S&P 500, volatility, max drawdown, calendar-year returns, fund facts (fees, yield, AUM) or stock fundamentals (market cap, P/E), and ETF holdings overlap with top common positions, for a pair of US stocks or ETFs. Popular pairs come from PairBook's precomputed matrix; any other pair of covered symbols is computed on demand from the weekly return series. Example: a=QQQ, b=VOO. Symbol order does not matter. Covers ~4,700 US-listed stocks and ETFs only (no crypto, no foreign listings, no inverse/leveraged short funds, no intraday data); figures use weekly closes and refresh once per trading day. Unknown tickers return an error: resolve them with resolve_symbol first.

find_diversifiers ~154

Assets with the lowest or most negative 3-year correlation to the given US stock or ETF, each with its name and kind so you can screen them. Raw lowest-correlation list: it can contain leveraged/inverse ETNs, volatility products and illiquid micro-caps. Check name and kind before presenting anything as a portfolio diversifier. Covers ~4,700 US-listed stocks and ETFs only (no crypto, no foreign listings, no inverse/leveraged short funds, no intraday data); figures use weekly closes and refresh once per trading day. Unknown tickers return an error: resolve them with resolve_symbol first.

Covers ~4,700 US-listed stocks and ETFs only (no crypto, no foreign listings, no inverse/leveraged short funds, no intraday data); figures use weekly closes and refresh once per trading day.
