Instead of jumping between browser tabs to check a stock's current price or digging through PDF reports for a company's balance sheet, you can just ask your agent to do it. It pulls live quotes, volume, and market cap instantly, so you can stay focused on the analysis rather than the data entry. If you're looking at the bigger picture, you can get a pulse on the entire market, seeing what's moving across different sectors or identifying the biggest gainers in a single prompt. It handles the heavy lifting of fetching foreign exchange rates and cryptocurrency prices too, making it a one-stop shop for diverse asset classes. For those who need to dig deeper, it grabs the actual numbers from income statements and cash flow reports to build a clearer financial picture. Having this integrated into the Vinkius catalog means you can plug it in and start getting professional-grade financial intelligence right where you're already working. It's about moving from manual searching to direct inquiry. ## Tools ### get_stock_stats Retrieve key statistics and high-level data for any stock symbol. ### get_treasury_yield Check the latest US Treasury yields for macro analysis. ### get_stock_financials Pull income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports for any company. ### get_fx_latest Get the current exchange rates for global currencies in real-time. ### get_market_list View lists of the most active stocks, top gainers, and biggest losers. ### get_stock_news Fetch the latest news articles and headlines for a specific ticker. ### get_stock_quote Grab the current price, trading volume, and market cap for a stock. ### get_sector_performance See how different market sectors are performing today. ### get_stock_chart Get historical price data to visualize trends over time. ### get_crypto_quote Pull real-time price quotes for various cryptocurrencies. ### get_upcoming_earnings View the calendar of upcoming earnings releases for public companies. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` What is the current price and market cap of NVIDIA (NVDA)? ``` **Response:** ``` I'll check the latest quote for NVDA for you. | Metric | Value | | :--- | :--- | | **Current Price** | $135.58 | | **Market Cap** | ~$3.33 Trillion | | **Volume** | 42.1M shares | NVDA is currently showing high liquidity with significant trading volume today. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Show me the latest news for Microsoft. ``` **Response:** ``` Fetching the latest headlines for MSFT... * **AI Integration Update**: Microsoft announced new enterprise features for their AI suite. * **Cloud Growth**: Quarterly summary shows a 12% increase in Azure adoption. * **Partnerships**: New hardware agreements signed with several global manufacturers. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Which stocks are the top gainers in the market today? ``` **Response:** ``` Querying the current market lists...
