Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_exchangesA | List the exchanges supported by this server. |
| get_capabilitiesA | Show which data each supported exchange can return (no network call). Use this before calling a data tool to pick an exchange that supports it. |
| search_symbolsA | Find market symbols matching a query (e.g. 'BTC', 'SOL/USDT'). Useful when you don't know the exact symbol format an exchange expects. |
| get_priceA | Last price and 24h stats for a symbol. |
| get_order_bookC | Top-of-book bids and asks. |
| get_ohlcvC | Recent OHLCV candles. |
| get_recent_tradesA | Most recent public trades for a symbol. |
| get_funding_rateB | Current perpetual funding rate for a symbol. |
| get_funding_rate_historyB | Historical funding rates for a perp symbol (newest last). |
| compare_fundingA | Compare funding rates for one perp symbol across exchanges (concurrent). Surfaces funding-rate arbitrage: the venue paying the most vs the least, and the spread between them. |
| get_open_interestB | Current open interest for a perp symbol. |
| get_long_short_ratioB | Global long/short account ratio (Binance USDⓈ-M futures only). |
| get_liquidationsC | Recent public liquidations for a perp symbol. |

Scored across 13 tools
Each tool targets a distinct data type or action (e.g., funding rates, liquidations, OHLCV), with no overlap between tools. compare_funding and get_funding_rate differ in scope (multi-exchange vs single, live vs historical). Meta-tools like get_capabilities and list_exchanges are clearly separate.
Most tools follow a get_<noun> pattern, but four tools (compare_funding, list_exchanges, search_symbols, get_capabilities) use different verbs. This is a minor deviation; all names are still clear and use consistent snake_case.
13 tools is well-scoped for a crypto market data server, covering essential data points without being overwhelming. Each tool serves a clear purpose, and the count aligns with typical user needs.
The tool set covers core market data (price, order book, trades, OHLCV, open interest, funding, liquidations, long/short ratio) and metadata (exchanges, symbols, capabilities). Missing historical trades and exchange-specific details, but coverage is strong for common use cases.
