Aikstockdata — Korean Stock Data tools 12
get_todayStart here for "how was the Korean market today?" — index levels, breadth, 52-week high/low counts, top-3 disclosures, growth top-3, movers and disclosure-type counts in one call. Then drill down with get_stock / list_stocks / get_disclosures. Coverage: every listed stock in the FSC price feed (no ETFs/ETNs); markets and counts are in index.json coverage and in each response footer. | "오늘 시장 어땠어?"의 출발점 — 지수·등락 폭·주요 공시·성장 랭킹·등락률 상하위를 한 번에. 이어서 get_stock / list_stocks / get_disclosures 로 파고들면 됩니다.search_stockFind a ticker from part of the name — Korean or Latin, case-insensitive — or a 6-digit code, across every listed stock we publish (no ETFs; markets are named in the response footer). Korean readings of Latin names also match ('네이버' finds NAVER, '케이티' finds KT/KTis), and so do common Korean nicknames for large caps ('삼전' finds 삼성전자, '하닉' SK하이닉스). Large caps also match their official English name ('Samsung Electronics', 'SK hynix'; 'samsung' lists the Samsung group); smaller stocks need the Korean name. Up to 10 matches, market-cap sorted. | 이름 일부(한글·영문 모두, 대소문자 무시)나 6자리 코드로 찾습니다. 영문 이름의 한글 읽기('네이버'→NAVER, '케이티'→KT·KTis)와 흔한 줄임말('삼전'→삼성전자, '하닉'→SK하이닉스)도 매치됩니다. 대형주는 공식 영문 이름으로도 찾습니다('Samsung Electronics'·'SK hynix'). 그 밖의 종목은 한국어 이름으로 찾으세요. 수록 전 종목 · 시총순 최대 10건.get_stockOne Korean stock by 6-digit code: T+1 confirmed close & change, market cap, latest financials from the latest periodic report (revenue / operating income / net income, with YoY; Korean reports are cumulative year-to-date, so H1 = Jan-Jun, not Q2 alone), PER(TTM) and PBR computed from public filings, and ranking signals. Two as-of dates move independently — price (quote_as_of) and filings (disclosure_through); the response header carries both, do not merge them into one "today". null means not provided, never 0. Name → code: search_stock. Daily price history (accumulating): get_history. Filings with receipt times: get_disclosures. Screening a list: list_stocks. | 6자리 코드로 한 종목 — 확정 종가·등락·시총·최근 정기보고서 실적(전년비 · 반기는 1~6월 누적)·PER(TTM)·PBR·랭킹 신호. 기준일이 둘이고 따로 움직입니다(시세·공시) — 응답 머리말에 둘 다 실리니 하나로 합치지 마세요. null 은 '미제공'이며 0이 아닙니다. 이름으로 찾기는 search_stock, 일별 시세는 get_history, 접수 시각이 있는 공시는 get_disclosures, 조건 목록은 list_stocks.get_rankingsAnswers "which stocks scored highest on measured DART financials?" — kind='growth' is 성장 TOP8 (max 8 rows), kind='quiet' is 조용한 실적주. Scores come from a published formula over ACTUAL filed financials only — no prices, no analyst estimates. Mechanical, not stock picks. For 52-week high/low or turnaround LISTS use list_stocks(). | "실측 재무로 점수가 높은 종목"에 답합니다 — growth 는 최대 8건, quiet 는 조용한 실적주. 시세·전망치를 쓰지 않고 DART 실측 재무만 씁니다. 52주 신고저·흑자전환 목록은 list_stocks().get_market_summaryIndex levels (KOSPI/KOSDAQ close, change, %) and up/down breadth — nothing else. Prices are the previous session's T+1 settled close, never real-time. Index and breadth routinely disagree — the index is cap-weighted, breadth is one vote per stock — which is why both are returned; do not infer one from the other. For the full daily digest (disclosures, rankings, movers) use get_today(). | 지수와 등락 폭만 봅니다. 하루 전체 요약은 get_today(), 조건별 종목 목록은 list_stocks().get_data_urlsDirect URLs for every public dataset (JSON/CSV) — no signup, no API key. Call this BEFORE concluding something is unavailable: the tool list is not the extent of the data. Returns the endpoint catalog (quotes, disclosures, rankings, per-stock JSON, search index) plus the 30-trading-day dated archive with the exact dates held per pattern. Most AI fetch tools cut responses near 150 KB and a truncated JSON is unparseable — the catalog names a smaller alternative for every large file, so read that instead of guessing. | 전체 공개 데이터(JSON·CSV) 직링크 카탈로그 — 무가입·무키. **없다고 결론내기 전에 먼저 부르세요**: 도구 목록이 데이터의 전부가 아닙니다. 최근 30영업일 날짜별 아카이브(패턴별 보유 날짜 포함)도 함께 냅니다. 대부분의 AI 가 응답을 150KB 안팎에서 자르고 잘린 JSON 은 파싱되지 않습니다 — 큰 파일마다 소형 대체본이 카탈로그에 적혀 있으니 그쪽을 쓰세요.get_earningsEarnings from DART, INCLUDING preliminary (잠정) results filed ~2 weeks before the regular report. Each row says whether the figure is year-to-date cumulative or a single quarter. Pass a code for one stock's history, or omit it for the largest caps. get_stock shows the regular report and flags a newer preliminary filing when one exists; this tool gives the preliminary figures in full. | DART 실적 — 정기보고서보다 2주 빠른 잠정실적 포함. 행마다 누적인지 단독 분기인지 적습니다. code 를 주면 그 종목 이력, 생략하면 시총 상위. get_stock 은 정기보고서 수치에 더 최신 잠정실적이 있다는 표시를 붙이고, 잠정 수치 전체는 이 도구가 줍니다.get_historyAnswers "is this stock near its high or deep in a drawdown, and is volume unusual?" — the stock's accumulated daily CLOSES, plus period high/low, drawdown from the high, and volume vs the 60-day average. Close-based (this history file carries daily closes only; the latest day's high/low is in the stock file), so it will differ from an HTS 52-week range. | "전 구간 고점 대비 얼마나 빠졌나·거래량이 평소보다 많나"에 답합니다 — 보유 구간 전체의 **종가 기준** 고저·낙폭·거래량 배수. 장중 고저가 아니라 HTS 52주 범위와 다를 수 있습니다.get_disclosure_impactAnswers "what usually happened after this kind of filing?" — median MARKET-ADJUSTED return at +1/+5/+20 trading days per DART filing type (+20 only where that type has enough samples — see h20_status), with 95% intervals, sample window and n. A historical record, not a forecast. Coverage: every listed stock in the FSC price feed (no ETFs/ETNs); markets and counts are in index.json coverage and in each response footer. | "이 공시 나오면 보통 어땠나"에 답합니다 — 공시 유형별로 접수 이후 1·5·20거래일 뒤까지(20거래일은 표본이 찬 유형만) 시장 등락을 뺀 수익률 중앙값·95% 구간·표본기간. 과거 기록이며 예측·추천이 아닙니다.get_earnings_calendarAnswers "who has filed this quarter's results, who hasn't, and what came in since last time?" — filed / not-yet lists against the statutory deadline, plus a diff of filings new since the previous publish. Built for stateless agents: polling this replaces a webhook. | "누가 냈고 누가 아직인가 · 지난번 이후 새로 뜬 건 뭔가"에 답합니다. 법정 마감 D-day 와 직전 발행 대비 신규 목록까지. 상태를 못 들고 다니는 에이전트를 위한 도구입니다.get_disclosuresAnswers "what was filed, and when exactly?" — DART filings with RECEIPT TIME (HH:MM) and session (pre-open / intraday / after-close), filterable by date, type and importance. OpenDART's filing-list API returns the receipt date only; we add the HH:MM. About half of tracked filings arrive AFTER the close (daily counts: /data/public/press_owl_filings.csv), so that day's price move is not a reaction to them. date=today serves the 15:00 intraday collection (no importance scores yet); any other date serves the ranked list of the last 7 days. | "무슨 공시가 몇 시에 났나"에 답합니다 — 접수 시각(HH:MM)과 장 구분까지. 공개 공시 목록 API(OpenDART)는 접수 날짜까지만 줍니다 — 시:분은 저희가 모읍니다. 날짜·유형·중요도로 거를 수 있습니다. 추적 유형 기준 **절반 안팎이 장 마감 후** 접수라(날짜별은 press_owl_filings.csv) 그날 등락은 그 공시의 반응이 아닙니다. date=오늘이면 15:00 장중 수집본(아직 중요도 점수 없음), 다른 날짜면 최근 7일 상위 목록입니다.list_stocksReturn the LIST of stocks matching a condition — turnaround to profit, 52-week high/low, growth or quiet-performer rankings — with optional market-cap range and a cap-to-operating-income multiple ceiling. Other tools give counts; this one gives the names. new_high/new_low return at most 30 names per side (the published list); the full count is in get_market_summary(). | 조건에 맞는 종목 목록을 돌려줍니다 — 흑자전환·52주 신고저·성장/조용한 실적주. 시총 범위와 시총÷연환산영업이익 배수 상한도 걸 수 있습니다. 다른 도구가 개수를 준다면 이건 목록을 줍니다. 52주 신고가·신저가는 발행 목록이 쪽마다 최대 30종목이고, 전체 수는 get_market_summary 가 줍니다.
Signal8 MCP tools 101
search_companiesSearch for companies by name or ticker symbol in the Signal8 database. Returns matching companies with their ticker, name, CIK, and exchange. Use this as the first step to find a company before calling other tools.get_company_profileGet an enriched company profile by ticker symbol. Returns CIK, exchange, sector, industry, market cap, employee count, description, and other fundamental data. This is a lightweight lookup (1 credit) -- use this when you only need basic company info rather than the full bundle. Always includes halted/haltCode/haltedAt trading-halt status (false/null when trading normally); a halted-but-listed ticker reports delisted:false.get_quoteGet the current stock quote for a company including price, volume, change, market cap, and other real-time market data. Use this when a user asks about a stock's current price or trading activity. Always includes halted/haltCode/haltReason/haltedAt/resumptionAt trading-halt fields (false/null when trading normally); a halted ticker returns the last-known quote instead of an error, or currentPrice:null + halted:true when nothing is recoverable.get_market_metricsGet computed market metrics for a company including volume averages, volatility, SMAs, and trend direction. Use when analyzing trading patterns or technical indicators beyond the basic quote.get_short_interestGet short interest data for a company including short volume, short ratio, days to cover, and short percent of float. Use when analyzing bearish sentiment or potential short squeeze setups.get_floatGet float data for a company: floatShares, source, floatDefinition, and as-of date. Use when analyzing share supply. IMPORTANT: check "floatDefinition" to know which float you are reading — "tradeable" (shares outstanding minus affiliates minus restricted/unregistered blocks: what can actually reach the tape; used on filing-derived dilution-snapshot tickers), "non_affiliate" (the SEC I.B.6 figure, which INCLUDES restricted shares held by non-affiliates — not what a trader means by float), "non_affiliate_estimate" (approximated from ownership filings), or "free_float" (vendor methodology). On snapshot tickers "nonAffiliateFloatShares" carries the SEC I.B.6 figure separately — it is the ONLY correct input to baby-shelf / I.B.6 shelf-capacity math; never use the tradeable float there, and never present the non-affiliate figure as tradeable supply. floatShares:null with "floatWithheldReason" set ("restricted_blocks_unnetted" | "stated_figure_impossible" | "affiliate_basis_stale" | "affiliate_figure_declined") means the figure was deliberately WITHHELD, not unavailable — do not substitute a vendor float. On "affiliate_basis_stale", "affiliateBasis.floatLowerBound" / "floatUpperBound" are a RANGE the float lies in (both ends or neither; null = not measurable) — a range to state, never a number to compute with. "restrictedShares":null means NOT MEASURED (a block exists whose size the filings do not state), NEVER zero; "restrictedBlockCount":0 is an answer, not an absence. "affiliateBasisStale" (with basisSpanDays/affiliateAnchorDate) labels a float whose affiliate table is materially older than its share count — the number itself is unchanged.get_float_historyGet the POINT-IN-TIME float history for a company — one sample per trade date (float shares, shares outstanding, and the source the float came from). Use to answer "what was the float on date X" or to see float expand across a dilution event, which the latest-only get_float cannot show. IMPORTANT: this series is FORWARD-ONLY — it began accumulating in mid-2026 and is NOT backfilled, so early/absent history is expected and an empty rows array is a normal result, not an error or a delisted company. Each row carries "source" ("polygon" | "computed" | "sec_10k" | "fmp") because float quality varies by provider — weigh rows accordingly rather than treating all sources as equal. Charged per your API tier.get_historical_pricesGet historical OHLCV price candles for a stock. Supports daily, weekly, and monthly resolutions. Use period shorthand (1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, 5Y, ALL) or explicit from/to UNIX timestamps. Default is 1 year of daily candles. Use this to compute price returns, chart price history, or analyze volume trends over time.get_stock_price_changeGet percentage price changes for a stock across multiple timeframes: 1D, 5D, 1M, 3M, 6M, YTD, 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, 10Y, and MAX. Use this for quick "how much is it up/down" answers without fetching full candle data.get_financialsGet income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow data for a company. Supports annual, quarterly, and trailing-twelve-month views. Use when analyzing revenue, profitability, debt, or cash position.get_earningsGet historical earnings data for a company including EPS actual vs estimate, revenue actual vs estimate, and surprise percentages. Use when analyzing earnings beats/misses or upcoming earnings expectations.get_executivesGet key executives and officers of a company including name, title, compensation, and tenure. Use when researching company leadership or management quality.- +89 more on the listing page
