Identify the asset class first:
- equities and company events
- crypto
- forex
- market calendars or holidays
Choose the narrowest Finnhub capability that fits:
- finnhub_stock_market_data for quote, profile, candles, or earnings surprise context
- finnhub_news_sentiment for news, article sentiment, or insider sentiment
- finnhub_sec_filings for filings and filing sentiment
- finnhub_stock_estimates or finnhub_market_events for analyst and event context
- finnhub_stock_ownership for insider, congress, and institutional data
- finnhub_technical_analysis for aggregate signals or indicators
- finnhub_crypto_data and finnhub_forex_data for non-equity assets
Use date ranges deliberately. Finnhub has many time-bounded endpoints, so specify from and to when freshness matters.
Summarize signal quality, not just raw output. Call out whether a finding is based on news flow, filings, analyst revisions, or technicals.
