Price chart

chart
Read-onlyIdempotent

Candlestick price chart with indicators for a public ticker. Use it when someone wants a chart, a price chart or indicator values on a symbol, such as a daily chart of AAPL with SMA and RSI. Pass symbol as a Yahoo-style ticker: AAPL, BRK-B, EUR/USD, BTC-USD, or GOLD (drawn as GC=F). Turn a company name into its ticker first, for example Apple is AAPL. Optional: timeframe (5m, 15m, 1h, 1d, 1w; 1d by default), indicators (up to 4 of sma, ema, rsi, macd, bollinger, atr, stochastic, vwap; volume is always drawn) and theme (dark or light). Returns an inline card, the full interactive chart page as html, an openUrl for the same chart, and a short plain-language read of the last price and the indicator values, with the source and as-of time. Do not use it for news, fundamentals, earnings, a portfolio, orders, or buy or sell opinions; those need a different source. Public prices only. Informational only, not financial advice.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
themeNodark (default) or light
symbolYesYahoo-style ticker, such as "AAPL". Also accepted: BRK-B, EUR/USD or EURUSD, BTC-USD or BTCUSD, GOLD (GC=F), SPX. Turn a company name into its ticker first: Apple is AAPL.
periodsNoLookback per indicator, in bars, such as {"sma": 50}. A period applies only when its indicator is in indicators. MACD stays 12, 26, 9 and VWAP has no length, so neither has an entry.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, openWorld, non-destructive), and the description goes well beyond them: it discloses the return shape (inline card, html page, openUrl, plain-language read with source and as-of time), the data scope ('Public prices only'), a normalization behavior (GOLD drawn as GC=F), and a compliance disclaimer.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Purpose and usage lead, followed by parameter detail and then constraints. It is longer than strictly necessary and repeats schema content (defaults, aliases), but every sentence carries usable information and nothing is buried.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a 5-parameter chart tool with nested periods, enums, and an output schema, the description covers invocation, symbol normalization, defaults, output form, and scope limits. An agent has everything needed to call it correctly without guessing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and the schema already documents ticker aliases, the timeframe enum with default, the 4-indicator cap, per-indicator period defaults, and that volume is always drawn. The description restates nearly all of this, adding only the example 'daily chart of AAPL with SMA and RSI' and the period syntax hint, so baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Opens with a specific verb+resource: 'Candlestick price chart with indicators for a public ticker.' It is immediately distinguishable from the sibling feedback tools and states the exact artifact produced.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives a concrete when-to-use trigger ('when someone wants a chart, a price chart or indicator values on a symbol') with a worked example, plus an explicit exclusion list (news, fundamentals, earnings, portfolio, orders, buy/sell opinions) that routes the agent elsewhere. Nothing is left to inference.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
