When to use
Any question that touches markets, exposure, transmission, fundamentals, sentiment, or US macro indicators. The macro-finance category is much larger than typical “quotes + indicators” — callmacro_finance_tool_list once per session to see the ~120-tool catalog (analytics, fundamentals, options chains, sentiment, transcripts, technical indicators, sliding-window analytics, FX, crypto, commodities).
First: always resolve the symbol
Provider symbols are not interchangeable across vendors. Yahoo or TradingView aliases will fail silently or return the wrong instrument.SYMBOL_SEARCH rather than retrying with variants.

What the wrapper normalizes
When a selected macro-finance tool returns a recognizable historical payload, the wrapper normalizes it into top-level chart fields:symbol/instrumentlatest_value,latest_dateseries: recent{ label, date, value }pointsseries_observation_count
Provider quirks
_ADJUSTEDtime series are always preferred over raw OHLCV for return analysis.- Non-US equities work via venue-suffixed symbols (
.LON,.SAO,.DEX,.FRK,.TRT) returned bySYMBOL_SEARCH. - For options, narrow by expiration date — full chains can be large.
- Indicator tools require an
interval(intraday for technical work; daily for swing).
