get-stock-data
Fetch stock data with specified symbol and interval (daily, weekly, monthly). Only return latest 100 data points
LABSCO SUMMARY
One call, one shape, and a stated ceiling: the latest 100 data points, whichever interval you ask for.
The cap is written into the tool's own description, which matters more than it sounds — at a daily interval that is a few months of history and at a monthly interval it reaches back years, so choosing the interval is really choosing how far back you can see. There is no date-range parameter and no second tool, so a specific historical window or any series other than price has to come from somewhere else.
What it is

What you get
- One call: get-stock-data takes a symbol and an interval of daily, weekly or monthly, and returns the latest 100 data points.
