list_tokensList all tokens tracked by Pythia with status and reliability info. Returns token symbols, categories, data source count, 30-day uptime, and operational status. Covers cross-chain tokens (BTC, SOL, TAO, RENDER, ONDO, etc.) and DeFi tokens.get_token_feedsGet all available indicator feeds for a specific token. Shows every feed name (EMA, RSI, Bollinger, Volatility across all timeframes), the token's reliability stats, and data source count. Feed names are what you pass to the on-chain oracle to request data. Args: engine_id: Token engine ID (e.g., 'bitcoin', 'solana', 'bittensor', 'aave', 'pol'). Use list_tokens() to see all available IDs.get_market_summaryGet a summary of all tokens tracked by Pythia with operational overview. Returns system-wide stats, tokens grouped by status, uptime distribution, data source health, and infrastructure status. Useful for quickly understanding what Pythia covers and whether the system is healthy.check_oracle_healthCheck the reliability and uptime of Pythia's oracle system. Returns per-token 30-day uptime (sorted worst-first so problems surface immediately), recent daily status history, data source health, and infrastructure status. Use this to verify Pythia's reliability before integrating or relying on its data.get_contractsGet Pythia contract addresses for on-chain integration. Shows all supported chains.get_pricingGet Pythia pricing tiers and free trial info. Prices are live from the data feed.get_integration_guideGet Solidity code to integrate Pythia into a smart contract. Args: tier: 'discovery' (single value), 'analysis', 'speed', or 'complete'. chain: Optional chain key (e.g. 'mainnet', 'amoy', 'arbitrum'). When unset, the embedded Solidity uses the first available chain's addresses (Polygon mainnet by convention) and the prose lists every chain where this tier's consumer is deployed.get_events_infoGet overview of Pythia Events — on-chain indicator alert subscriptions. Returns pricing, supported conditions, subscriber flow, registry addresses per chain, and current subscription stats. Events let you subscribe once and get notified when an indicator crosses a threshold.get_events_guideGet Solidity code to subscribe to Pythia Events (indicator alerts). Returns a complete contract that approves LINK, subscribes to an indicator alert, listens for PythiaEvent, and can cancel for a refund.subscribe_infoPlan a specific Pythia Events subscription with cost and exact calls. Args: feed_name: Feed name to monitor (e.g. 'pol_RSI_5M_14', 'bitcoin_EMA_1H_20') condition: 0=ABOVE, 1=BELOW, 2=CROSSES_ABOVE, 3=CROSSES_BELOW days: Subscription duration in days (1-365)get_visions_infoGet overview of Pythia Visions — walk-forward validated market intelligence on-chain. Returns the walk-forward validated patterns with accuracy stats, the Vision Registry contract address, subscription info (FREE), evaluation frequency, and supported tokens. Visions are pattern detections that passed walk-forward validation across multiple years of history. Live token + pattern set is returned in the response (canonical source: feed-status.json visions section).get_visions_guideGet Solidity code to subscribe to Pythia Visions and listen for VisionFired events. Returns a complete contract that subscribes to the PythiaVisionRegistry, receives VisionFired events with pattern type, confidence, direction, price, and full analysis payload. Subscription is FREE (no LINK required).- +6 more on the listing page

get_stock_quoteReal-time quote snapshot for ONE stock: last price, day change ($ and %), open, previous close, day range, 52-week range, volume and average volume, market cap, beta, trailing P/E, EPS, dividend yield, and sector/industry/website. Use for "what's the price of X" or a quick single-stock snapshot. For several stocks side by side use compare_stocks; for the full company profile use get_company_info; for a past price series use get_historical_prices. Returns Markdown by default, or structured JSON when response_format='json'. An unknown ticker or an upstream/rate-limit error returns a short error message rather than raising.get_historical_pricesHistorical OHLCV price series for one stock over a chosen period/interval, plus summary stats (highest/lowest/average close, average volume) and total return over the window. Use for performance, trends, or charting ("how has X done over the last year"). For a single current price use get_stock_quote; for dividend/split events use get_dividends_splits. Note: intraday intervals (1m-90m) are only available for short recent periods, and long periods return many rows, so prefer JSON or a shorter period if the output is truncated. Returns Markdown (summary stats plus the last 10 rows) by default, or the full series as JSON when response_format='json'. An empty or unsupported period/interval combination returns a short message.get_company_infoDetailed company profile for one stock: long business summary, sector/industry, key executives, headquarters/website/employee count, and valuation & financial-highlight stats (market cap, P/E, margins, and similar). Use for "what does X do", company background, or a business overview. For the statement-level numbers (income/balance/cash flow) use get_financial_statements; for just the live price use get_stock_quote. Returns Markdown by default, or JSON when response_format='json'. An unknown ticker or upstream error returns a short error message.get_financial_statementsAnnual financial statements for one company: income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement, each with multiple years of data. Use for revenue, earnings, assets/liabilities, cash flow, or fundamental analysis. For headline ratios only use get_company_info; for forward projections use get_analyst_estimates. Quarterly data is not returned; request JSON for the complete machine-readable export. Returns Markdown by default, or JSON when response_format='json'. Companies without filed statements (for example some ETFs or ADRs) return empty sections or a short message.compare_stocksSide-by-side comparison of 2-10 stocks across key metrics (price, market cap, P/E, EPS, dividend yield, 52-week range, and period performance) with brief auto-generated insights. Use for "which is better, X or Y", peer/relative comparison, or screening a small set. For a deep dive on a single name use get_stock_quote or get_company_info. Pass 2-10 tickers in the tickers list. Returns a Markdown comparison table by default, or JSON when response_format='json'. A ticker that fails to resolve is reported per-symbol rather than failing the whole call.get_analyst_recommendationsWall Street analyst view on one stock: price targets (high/mean/low), consensus rating, the buy/hold/sell recommendation-trend breakdown, and recent upgrades/downgrades. Use for "what do analysts think of X", ratings, or sentiment. For forward EPS/revenue/growth projections use get_analyst_estimates instead: this tool is ratings and targets, that one is the numeric estimates. Returns Markdown by default, or JSON when response_format='json'. A stock with no analyst coverage returns the available fields as N/A; errors return a short message.get_market_newsLatest news articles for one stock; each item has a title, publisher/source, publish date, a short summary, and a link. Use for "what's the latest news on X", recent headlines, or catalysts. Returns news only: for price use get_stock_quote, for fundamentals use the financials tools. count sets how many articles to return (1-20, default 10). Returns Markdown by default, or JSON when response_format='json'. No recent news returns a short message.get_options_chainEquity options data for one underlying, in two modes: call with no expiration_date to LIST every available expiration date; call again with a specific 'YYYY-MM-DD' to get that expiration's chain (strike, bid/ask, last, volume, open interest, implied volatility). Use for options pricing, implied volatility, or open-interest analysis. option_type selects 'calls', 'puts', or 'both'. Always discover the valid dates first (call with no date) before requesting a chain, since only listed expirations work. Returns Markdown by default, or JSON when response_format='json'. A ticker with no listed options returns a short message.get_holdersOwnership and insider activity for one stock, selected by holder_type: 'institutional' (top institutional holders), 'mutualfund' (top fund holders), 'major' (insider-vs-institutional ownership % breakdown), or 'insider_transactions' (recent insider buys and sells). Use for "who owns X", institutional ownership, or insider trading activity. One holder_type per call: call again to get a different view. Returns Markdown by default, or JSON when response_format='json'. Missing data for the chosen category returns a short message.get_dividends_splitsFull dividend payment history (with a trailing-period summary) and the stock-split history for one stock. Use for dividend-income analysis, payment dates and amounts, dividend growth, or past split events. For the current/forward dividend yield use get_stock_quote; for price history use get_historical_prices. Returns Markdown by default, or JSON when response_format='json'. A stock that pays no dividend or has never split returns a short message noting that none exist.get_analyst_estimatesForward-looking analyst estimates for one stock: price targets, EPS and revenue estimates by period (current and next quarter and year), and growth estimates. Use for projected/expected numbers and forecasts. This complements get_analyst_recommendations: that tool returns ratings and the recommendation trend, this one returns the numeric forward estimates. Returns Markdown by default, or JSON when response_format='json'. A stock without analyst coverage returns the available fields as N/A or a short message.search_symbolsResolve a company name or keyword to ticker symbols; each match returns the symbol, name, exchange, and instrument type (equity, ETF, and so on). Use this first when you have a company or brand name but not its ticker, then pass the resolved symbol to the other tools. Not for fetching prices or fundamentals. query is the name/keyword to search; count caps the number of matches (1-20, default 8). Returns Markdown by default, or JSON when response_format='json'. No matches returns a short message.- +1 more on the listing page
