get_ignitions
Detect volatility ignition events to identify potential explosive price moves. Returns ignition state and directional bias for timing exits or preparing for breakouts.
Instructions
Detect volatility ignition events — potential explosive price moves.
Returns ignition state (DORMANT, RISING, IGNITED) and directional bias.
IGNITED = imminent large move, reduce or exit positions.
RISING = pressure building, prepare for breakout.Input Schema

Implementation Reference
- horus_mcp_public.py:252-262 (handler)The get_ignitions tool handler. Decorated with @mcp.tool(), it fetches volatility ignition event data from the /v1/intelligence/ignitions endpoint and returns JSON. Returns ignition state (DORMANT, RISING, IGNITED) and directional bias.
