## Tools available

**56** tools available. First 12:

- `ALPHA_VANTAGE_ALL_COMMODITIES` — Get All Commodities Price Index — Tool to retrieve the global price index of all commodities. Use when you need monthly, quarterly, or annual aggregated price index data for commodities.
- `ALPHA_VANTAGE_ALUMINUM` — ALUMINUM — Tool to fetch global aluminum prices. Use when you need monthly, quarterly, or annual LME aluminum price data.
- `ALPHA_VANTAGE_BALANCE_SHEET` — Balance Sheet — Tool to return annual and quarterly balance sheets for a company. Use when you need detailed fiscal statements for analysis. Numeric fields may be returned as strings or empty values; treat empty/missing fields as null, not zero, before performing calculations.
- `ALPHA_VANTAGE_BRENT` — Brent Crude Oil Prices — Tool to fetch Brent crude oil prices. Use when you need daily, weekly, or monthly Brent price data.
- `ALPHA_VANTAGE_CASH_FLOW` — Cash Flow — Tool to return annual and quarterly cash flow statements for a company. Use when you need to analyze cash movements.
- `ALPHA_VANTAGE_COFFEE` — Global Coffee Price — Tool to retrieve the global coffee price series. Use when you need historical monthly, quarterly, or annual coffee prices.
- `ALPHA_VANTAGE_COMPANY_OVERVIEW` — Company Overview (Stocks Only) — Tool to retrieve company overview and fundamental data for individual company stocks. Note: This endpoint only works for stocks, not ETFs, mutual funds, or indices. Use after specifying a valid stock ticker symbol. Numeric fields (e.g., MarketCapitalization, SharesOutstanding, Beta, DividendYield, PERatio) are returned as strings and may be empty — treat empty/missing values as null, not zero. Fundamentals such as Beta, PERatio, and PayoutRatio may reflect different reporting periods across symbols; avoid naive cross-symbol aggregation without aligning periods. Check the as-of date in the response; SharesOutstanding and similar fields can lag corporate actions. Alpha Vantage enforces per-minute and per-day rate caps; throttle requests when processing bulk symbol lists.
- `ALPHA_VANTAGE_COPPER` — COPPER — Tool to fetch global price of copper in monthly, quarterly, and annual intervals. Use when you need historical copper price series for analysis.

## How agents use Alpha Vantage

Inside a Definable workflow, Alpha Vantage is one of the tools the **Distributor specialist** can call. Example coordination patterns:

- **Researcher → Alpha Vantage** — the Researcher (GPT-5.5) pulls context from Alpha Vantage (records, threads, documents), synthesises findings, and briefs the rest of the team.
- **Writer → Distributor → Alpha Vantage** — the Writer (Claude Opus 4.7) drafts copy in brand voice, the Verifier passes it, then the Distributor writes the result into Alpha Vantage (create record, post message, draft email).
- **Designer / Engineer → Distributor → Alpha Vantage** — the Designer ships an asset or the Engineer ships a code change, the Distributor delivers it via Alpha Vantage (attach file, open PR comment, post status).

The Verifier checks every Alpha Vantage call. On rate limit, schema drift, or auth refresh it self-heals and retries — the workflow completes without manual intervention.
