get_technical_indicators

Read-onlyIdempotent

Technical analysis for a crypto futures symbol. 19 indicators: RSI, MACD, EMA, SMA, Bollinger Bands, ATR, ADX (+DI/−DI), Stochastic, OBV (with price divergence), VWAP, CCI, MFI, Williams %R, ROC, SuperTrend, Ichimoku, Keltner Channels, classic pivot points and swing support/resistance levels. Every indicator returns its current value, the previous bar, a rising/falling/flat direction, a short series history and — where it applies — zones and crossovers. EMA/SMA accept several periods at once (default 20/50/200); every period is overridable via periods. Pass intervals (up to 3) to get 1h/4h/1d in ONE call with a multi-timeframe confluence verdict. Each timeframe also carries a summary (bias, trend, momentum, volatility, volume, plain-language notes) computed from a fixed indicator set — quote its notes rather than the raw score.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
symbolYesTrading pair symbol, e.g. BTCUSDT
historyNoPrior values returned per indicator as `series` (oldest → newest, length history + 1). 0 = latest only.
periodsNoOptional period overrides, e.g. {"ema":[9,21,55,200],"rsi":7}
intervalNoCandle timeframe. Ignored when `intervals` is given.1h
intervalsNoUp to 3 timeframes in ONE call (one quota unit), e.g. ["1h","4h","1d"]. The response then carries per-timeframe results plus a `confluence` verdict.
indicatorsNoIndicators to compute. `levels` = swing support/resistance from price structure, `pivots` = classic floor pivots from the previous day.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
priceNoLatest close on the primary timeframe, or null when no candles are stored
symbolNo
candlesNoClosed candles the primary timeframe was computed on
summaryNoSingle-timeframe call only: bias, score, trend, momentum, volatility, volume, notes[]. Omitted when `timeframes` is present.
intervalNoPrimary timeframe (the first requested one)
settingsNoEcho of what was computed: indicators, history, resolved periods
warningsNo
confluenceNoMulti-timeframe agreement: { aligned, bias, byInterval }
indicatorsNoSingle-timeframe call only: requested indicators keyed by name. Each carries value, previous, direction, series and indicator-specific fields (zone, crossover, stack, levels…); { value: null, reason: "insufficient_data" } when the tape is too short. Omitted when `timeframes` is present — read them there.
timeframesNoPresent when several intervals were requested: one { interval, price, candles, indicators, summary } per timeframe, in the requested order. The top-level indicators/summary are omitted in that case.

  3. First observed

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the bar is lower. The description further details the return shape (current value, previous bar, rising/falling/flat direction, series history, zones/crossovers) and the multi-timeframe behavior producing a `confluence` verdict and per-timeframe `summary`. This meaningfully extends the annotation-only picture.

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?

Dense but well-arranged: purpose front-loaded, then return format, then parameter flexibility, then multi-timeframe guidance. Every sentence carries information, though the 19-indicator enumeration could arguably be compressed since the schema also lists them.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a tool with 19 indicators, 6 params, and nested objects, the description covers return structure, period overrides, multi-timeframe behavior, and interpretation guidance (quote summary notes). An output schema exists, so return-value details needn't be in the description; what's present is sufficient for correct invocation.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds real value beyond the schema by explaining that EMA/SMA accept multiple periods at once (default 20/50/200), that every period is overridable via `periods`, and that `intervals` yields a multi-timeframe confluence result in one quota-efficient call.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('Technical analysis for a crypto futures symbol') and enumerates 19 concrete indicators, from RSI/MACD to swing levels. An agent can immediately understand what this tool computes and how it differs from siblings like get_price or get_candles, which handle raw prices rather than analyzed indicators.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Offers clear usage context: using `intervals` gets multiple timeframes in one call with a confluence verdict, and instructs the agent to 'quote its notes rather than the raw score' for the per-timeframe summary. However, it stops short of explicitly naming sibling alternatives or stating when NOT to use this tool versus get_price/get_candles.

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