Tools & capabilities
Flox MCP tools 13
list_indicatorsEvery indicator in `lrvx` with class signature, batch fn (if any), and shape. Filter by substring.lookup_error_codeE_SYM_001` → full Markdown page with fix recipe, common causes, diagnostics.list_capi_functionsSearch the lrvx C-API surface from the committed ABI snapshot. Returns `name + return type + parameter types`.validate_strategyStatic-analysis check on Python strategy code: AST parses, expected hooks present, no `eval`/`exec`.explain_eventDescribe the fields of a lrvx event struct (`LrvxTradeData`, `LrvxBookData`, `LrvxBarData`, `LrvxSymbolContext`, `LrvxSignal`). Accepts a struct name or a raw event dict.lookup_symbolTake any binding-local spelling (`LrvxBarData`, `BarData`, `lrvx_indicator_ema`, `ema`) and return what the symbol is called in C-API, Python, Node, and Codon.list_bindingsEnumerate the exports of one binding (capi, python, node, codon, quickjs). Substring filter and limit.get_exampleCode from `docs/examples/` matching a topic (strategy, connector, indicator, event-handler, risk, backtest), optionally filtered by language.scaffold_strategyStarter strategy class for Python or Node. Three kinds: bar-driven, trade-driven, hybrid. The Python output goes through `ast.parse` + `validate_strategy`; the Node output goes through `node --check`. CI fails if either breaks, so templates can't quietly rot.docs_searchTop-k FTS5 search over the docs. The index is built from an allowlist of roots; private trackers and `CLAUDE.md` are not in that allowlist.run_backtestRun a Python strategy against a CSV dataset in a sandboxed subprocess. Caps CPU, memory, and output size; wall-clock timeout. **MVP sandbox** — caps resources but does not isolate filesystem or network. Treat the same way as any untrusted Python; use nsjail / firejail / Docker for production.compute_indicatorRun one lrvx indicator over a list of floats. Accepts class-form (`EMA`) or function-form (`ema`) names and forwards extra kwargs to the constructor. Input capped at 1 MiB. Needs `lrvx` installed (`pip install "lrvx-mcp[lrvx]"`).- +1 more on the listing page
