Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Financial Evidence Research Desk Tools (8)

financial_evidence_datasets

Discover seven bounded OpenBB datasets, their coverage, filters and limits. Offline.

financial_evidence_funding_review

Read a dated USD funding review and its nine inputs. Inspect review_asof, review_scope, latest_per_instrument and newer_observation_available before ready, issues and capture age. Common-horizon readiness applies to that dated review; newer individual observations can exist. Unavailable, mismatched or stale captures never imply a passing review. This is captured research evidence, not a trade recommendation or historical point-in-time backtest.

financial_evidence_query

Query cited rows without large raw documents. Null means missing or withheld, never zero. Dates filter observation dates; empty dates mean no filter. Follow next_offset for remaining rows. Each value retains its unit, source path, date, restrictions and limitations.

financial_evidence_sources

Audit all six upstream routes for transport errors, publisher clocks and content hashes. Success is not a freshness verdict.
