Option Desk tools (13, 3 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsoption_chain_snapshotFreeSummarize SYNTH or analyze a user-supplied option chain for private analysis. This service never fetches market data.
option_delete_snapshotwrite actionFreeDelete one short-lived imported dashboard before its automatic one-hour expiry.
option_desk_statusFreeCheck the Option Desk data mode, source, refresh time, and public licence gate before requesting figures. No live feed or hosted backtest tool exists, even with uploaded history. Do not offer hosted backtests.
option_import_snapshotFreeImport user-supplied option-chain data into a bearer-private interactive dashboard. Delete the artifacts after one hour.
option_plotsFreeRender opaque PNG plots in the conversation. The SYNTH sample offers the market plot (dealer gamma exposure, open interest, volume and the smile by strike), the Greek ladder, and the structure comparison. Each is computed from the sample's own engine artifacts; there is no simulation or backtest for SYNTH because the hosted service has no price history.
option_plots_from_snapshotwrite actionFreeCreate opaque market and Greek PNG images from a user-supplied snapshot. Stamp source, capture time, expiry, and warnings on every image. Delete temporary files before the response.
option_positioningFreeReturn gamma walls, gamma flip, and max pain from SYNTH or a user-supplied chain. Dealer signs are an assumption, not observed positions.
option_private_dashboardwrite actionFreeCreate a private interactive dashboard from user-supplied data. The bearer URL and all derived artifacts expire after one hour.
option_report_plotsFreeReturn the market map, Greek ladder, strategy comparison and up to three requested payoff charts in ONE widget. Prefer this tool for multi-chart reports instead of parallel individual plot calls. Includes strategy_records, Greek units, scenarios and cost assumptions. Use those records for tables; never invent currency or a multiplier. Uses SYNTH or a user-supplied chain; never fetches live data.
option_snapshot_schemaFreeReturn the accepted CSV and JSON option-chain fields, safe repair rules, size limits, data-rights confirmation, and retention policy.
option_strategy_from_snapshotFreeBuild one option structure from a user-supplied chain and return its opaque payoff PNG with permanent source and risk warnings.
option_strategy_plotFreeShow an option-strategy payoff as an opaque PNG in the conversation. Any structure in the engine playbook can be built on the SYNTH sample chain. A market ticker requires user-supplied chain data. Do not start a localhost dashboard.
option_validate_snapshotFreeValidate and safely normalize a user-supplied option-chain snapshot. Return corrections and a summary. Delete all temporary files before the response.
