get_current_fng_toolLABSCO SUMMARY
One sentiment number, with its history attached.
The index on its own is a headline; the useful question is where it sits against the last month, and that is what the trend call answers — latest value, average and direction over the window you name. Sentiment is one input among many, and this makes it a cheap one to have in the conversation.
What it is
A feed of the Fear & Greed Index published by Alternative.me. The current value comes with its classification, the history covers however many days you ask for, and a third call turns that window into a trend.
What you get
- The latest index value with its classification and timestamp
- Historical values over a number of days you choose
- A trend read over that window: latest value, average and direction
- The same data offered as MCP resources as well as tools, for clients that prefer either
- A prompt for interpreting a reading in market terms
Requirements
A recent Python and network access. No account and no key — Alternative.me publishes the index openly.

USE CASES
01
Checking the mood before you look at anything else
Read today's value and classification as the opening line of a market review, instead of eyeballing a gauge on a website.
02
Putting today's number in context
Pull the last thirty days and see whether the current reading is unusual for this stretch or entirely ordinary.
03
Deciding whether sentiment is turning
The trend read gives the direction and the average over the window, which is the part a single day's value cannot tell you.
04
Writing a market note that cites the number
Take the current reading and the trend together, so the sentiment paragraph rests on the published series rather than on impression.
