Option Volume

option_volume
Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch real-time option call and put volume stats for any US stock, including put/call ratio, open interest, and top active contracts to gauge market sentiment.

Instructions

Get real-time option call/put volume stats for a US stock. Returns {call_volume, put_volume, put_call_ratio, call_oi, put_oi} and top active contracts.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
_jqNoOptional jq filter (jaq syntax) applied to this tool's JSON response before it is returned; it never changes the upstream request. One output is returned as-is, several as a JSON array, none as []. Module imports and the `env`/`debug`/`stderr` builtins are unavailable. Example: .data | map({symbol}). Omit for the full response.
symbolYesUnderlying symbol (US market only), e.g. "AAPL.US"

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so side-effect safety is established. The description adds useful behavioral context by specifying real-time data and the exact return fields, going beyond the annotations. It does not cover details like data availability caveats or nested structure of 'top active contracts', but these are minor.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is compact and front-loaded: the first sentence states the action and scope, the second lists the output fields. Every sentence contributes useful information without wasted words.

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?

This is a simple read-only tool with one required parameter and no output schema. The description compensates by listing the core returned fields and stating real-time behavior. A slight gap is the lack of guidance on how 'top active contracts' is shaped, and no explicit sibling differentiation, but overall it is complete enough for correct invocation.

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 both parameters (_jq and symbol) are already described adequately in the schema. The description repeats 'US stock' but does not add meaningful parameter-level detail beyond that. Baseline of 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description uses a specific verb and resource: 'Get real-time option call/put volume stats for a US stock.' It clearly names the returned fields, so an agent knows what the tool produces. It doesn't explicitly differentiate itself from sibling tools like option_volume_daily, but the 'real-time' qualifier gives useful distinction.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies when to use this tool: when real-time call/put volume data for a US stock is needed. However, it does not state when not to use it or mention alternatives such as option_volume_daily or option_chain_*. This leaves some selection burden on the agent.

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