get_options_data

Get options chain data and Greek exposure analysis for a stock ticker. Includes spot price, available expiration dates, key levels (gamma flip, call/put walls, max pain, net GEX, bullish score, implied move, P/C OI ratio, total OI/volume), human-readable positioning insights, and per-strike net Greek exposure profiles. Supported Greeks: gamma, vanna, charm, delta, theta, vega. Useful for analyzing options market positioning, dealer hedging flows, and identifying key support/resistance levels.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
greeksNoComma-separated Greek metrics to include. Valid: gamma, vanna, charm, delta, theta, vega, or 'all'. Default: 'gamma'
tickerYesStock ticker symbol (e.g. 'SPY', 'AAPL', 'QQQ'). Case-insensitive.
expirationNoSpecific expiration date (YYYY-MM-DD). Omit for nearest available expiration.
maxStrikesNoHow many strikes to show per greek, chosen nearest to the spot price (the most trade-relevant ones). Higher = more complete gamma/greek profile but more tokens; lower = faster, cheaper, easier for small-context models. Default: 12 (compact). Use ~40 for the full profile, or ~6 for a quick glance. Key Levels and Insights are always included regardless.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses the return payload well (key levels, per-strike Greek profiles, supported Greeks) and the net GEX/positioning computations, but says nothing about data freshness, source, auth/subscription requirements, or rate limits for a live market-data tool.

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 is front-loaded in the first sentence, and the middle sentence is a dense but useful enumeration of payload contents; the Greek list and use-case sentence close it out. The parenthetical metric list is long, but each item is informative rather than filler.

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 read-only data-fetch tool with no output schema and fully documented parameters, the description covers the returned fields and the analytical purpose adequately. The remaining gap is operational context (data freshness, quotas), which is minor for this tool type.

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%, so the schema already documents ticker, greeks, expiration, and maxStrikes (including the token/context tradeoff and the note that Key Levels are always included). The description only restates the supported Greek list, adding no syntax or format detail beyond the schema baseline.

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 ('Get') and resource ('options chain data and Greek exposure analysis for a stock ticker'), then enumerates exactly what the payload contains. Since the sibling set is entirely news/DD/WSB tools, there is no ambiguity to resolve; an agent can route to this tool unambiguously.

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?

The closing clause gives concrete use contexts (options market positioning, dealer hedging flows, support/resistance identification) with no competing sibling to distinguish from. It stops short of stating when NOT to use it or any prerequisites, so it is clear context rather than full when/when-not guidance.

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