Augur · AI Research Agent

Each pass through "think → call tools → read results → think again" is a round. Simple questions resolve in 1–2 rounds; long-form research can stretch to 5–8. The streaming bubble shows the current round counter (Streaming · round 4) so you have an honest signal that the agent is still working.

Text deltas stream as the model produces them. Tool calls show up as chips beneath the streaming bubble with three states:

• running — call dispatched, awaiting result.
• ok — result returned, rendered inline.
• error — upstream API failed. Hover for the message.

Duplicate tool names collapse: if the agent callsget_stock_snapshot three times across two rounds, you see one stock snapshot · 3 chip rather than three separate badges.

When Augur quotes a number or a headline, the source tool is attributed inline. For news the article URL is wired into each card and opens in a new tab. For data tools, the tool chip itself is the citation — clicking it scrolls to the rendered card with the raw response.

• get_stock_snapshot — live OHLC, % change, volume.
• search_symbols — resolve a name to a ticker.
• get_top_movers — gainers / losers / most-active.
• get_market_overview — market-wide health summary.
• get_market_movers_extended — premarket + after-hours movers.
• get_screener_results — quant screen on equities.
• screener_advanced — multi-factor screen with custom thresholds.
• get_historical_bars — OHLC history at any timeframe.
• get_cross_asset_market_recap — dated equity, crypto, forex and index recap.

• get_sentiment_score — Sentimentor composite (0–10) per ticker.
• get_sentimentor_prediction — proprietary directional read with confidence.

• get_options_flow — unusual contract activity, option marks, Greeks and call/put composition. Snapshot-only: no verified sweeps or buyer/seller direction.
• get_dark_pool_levels — off-exchange institutional prints.
• get_volume_delta — buy vs sell pressure imbalance.

Historical options context that live flow tools alone can't answer — is today's IV expensive vs the ticker's own history? Is the put/call ratio bending bullish or bearish over the last N days? Both backed by the daily options-metrics cron (top-500 by dollar volume + user-watchlist tickers).

• get_iv_rank — 0–100 percentile of the current ATM 30-DTE IV against the ticker's own history (up to 252 days). Returns low_confidence: true when the sample window is short (30–89 days); ramps to true 52-week rank at 252+ days. Untracked tickers return iv_rank: null with a note suggesting a watchlist add.
• get_pc_ratio_trend — put/call ratio trend over the last N days (default 5). Returns direction: 'rising' | 'declining' | 'flat', per-day history, and slope. Semantics: declining is bullish (rotation into calls); rising is defensive.

• get_financial_metrics — P/E, EPS, margins, dividends.
• get_analyst_recommendations — consensus + target prices.
• get_institutional_ownership — 13F holders + concentration.
• get_related_companies — peer-set discovery.
• get_comparable_companies — valuation comps.

• get_economic_calendar — CPI / FOMC / NFP / GDP releases.
• get_earnings_calendar — upcoming earnings dates.
• get_ipo_calendar — pricings + first-trade dates.
• get_ex_dividends — declared dividends.
• get_corporate_activity — splits, M&A, buybacks.

• get_reddit_buzz — top mentions across stock subs.
• get_x_trending — trending tickers on X (Twitter).

• get_cftc_commitments — commercial vs speculator positioning.
• get_insider_transactions — recent Form 4 filings.
• run_form4_conviction_scan — evidence-backed Form 4 conviction screening with executive compensation, ownership materiality, Altman Z-score, current ratio, debt-maturity and credit-facility checks.
• get_insider_sentiment — net buy/sell pressure.
• get_congressional_trades — normalized House, Senate and presidential disclosures.
• Public-record research — lobbying, government contracts, 13F filings, patents and related disclosures.

• get_market_news — recent headlines per ticker + AI sentiment score.

When you paste a URL (a short-report investigation, a press release, an 8-K filing, a blog post), Augur fetches and reads it before answering. This closes the "I can't visit URLs" gap that Claude's base model has by default.

• fetch_url — retrieves a public web page and returns its main text content. Public URLs only; SSRF-guarded against private / loopback / cloud-metadata hosts (localhost, 10.x, 169.254.169.254, etc.). Text-y content types only (HTML, JSON, XML, plain text); binaries (PDF, images) rejected. Response capped at ~24KB of extracted text with a 15s timeout. Follows up to 5 redirects.

Typical flow: user pastes a Hunterbrook short-report URL → Augur calls fetch_url → extracts the target ticker + thesis → runs get_market_news, get_options_flow,get_insider_transactions on the target in parallel → delivers a real analysis of the short thesis with corroborating or refuting data.

These are the tools that produce artefacts — not data, but objects you can save and act on.

• generate_pinenode_strategy — outputs PineNode source code with parameter bindings.
• generate_workflow_definition — outputs a workflow graph (nodes + edges) ready to save.
• generate_dashboard — emits a workflow visualization payload: a radar chart of signal strength (0–100) across common dimensions for each pick, an optional catalyst-timing scatter, and a Greeks-alignment panel only when signed, execution-level positioning data exists. Contract snapshots do not qualify. Renders as the top workflow-report card.
• generate_options_strategy — emits a structured priced, same-expiry, fully hedged options play for one ticker (vertical spread, iron condor, or iron butterfly). Rendered per-pick as anOptionsStrategyCard with metrics tiles (Net Debit, Max Profit, Max Loss, estimated Probability of Profit, Breakeven), a P&L payoff curve at expiry, a P&L heatmap across price × time, and Greeks tiles (client-side Black-Scholes). Debit, max profit/loss, breakevens and expiry payoff are recomputed server-side from contract marks. Naked shorts and unpriced legs are rejected.
• save_analysis_report — persists the conversation's findings as a citable report.

Big price, signed % change, signed $ change, OHLV in a four-up grid. Two anchor buttons at the bottom open/chart/{sym} and/stocks/{sym} in new tabs so you can deep-dive without losing the conversation.

Score 0–10 with a horizontal gauge bar, category label (bullish / bearish / neutral), and a single-line rationale pulled from the tool response.

Compact table of rows with ticker, name, key metrics. Click a row to open the per-symbol stock page in a new tab.

Each article surfaces title, source, time, and a per-article sentiment score (1–10). Hits the article URL in a new tab on click.

When the agent calls generate_dashboard, a full signal-dashboard card renders inline in the chat bubble — the same card that workflow run reports show at the top. Three panels:

• Radar — signal strength per dimension for each pick (0–100). One polygon per ticker, layered. Useful for multi-ticker signal comparisons across a shared set of dimensions (e.g. options activity / sentiment / IV rank / momentum / dark pool).
• Scatter (optional) — classifies picks along two continuous axes. Typical: X = catalyst timing (days), Y = signal strength (0–100), one dot per pick colored by category (Earnings / M&A / Product / Macro / etc.).
• Greeks alignment (conditional) — shown only when a time-aligned execution source establishes buyer/seller direction. A contract snapshot cannot support signed-flow or alignment verdicts.

Example prompt: "Compare NVDA, AMD, INTC, GOOGL and META across options activity, sentiment, IV rank, dark-pool conviction, and 30-day momentum. Show me a radar."

When the agent calls generate_options_strategy, a full defined-risk options card renders inline — the same decision-oriented view that workflow reports mount per pick:

• Header + metric tiles — strategy name, direction, DTE, current spot, then eight tiles: Net Debit (or Net Credit), Max Profit, Max Loss, estimated Probability of Profit, Breakeven, Expiry, estimated Expected P&L, Avg IV.
• P&L curve tab — Recharts area chart of the payoff at expiry across a price range slider (±2% to ±50%). Green shading above zero, red below; dashed reference line at current spot; yellow dots at breakevens.
• P&L heatmap tab — price × time grid (15 prices × 10 dates) with cells colored by live P&L (Black-Scholes on the client). Lets you see how the play behaves at any (S, T) combination, not just at expiry.
• Greeks tab — net position Delta / Gamma / Theta-per-day / Vega tiles + per-leg Greeks table, all computed live via Black-Scholes.
• Legs tab — the actual contract legs, one row each (action / type / strike / expiry / quantity / premium / IV).

Workflow plays are built from priced, same-expiry contracts. If a valid pair is unavailable, the report explains why instead of inventing a play. Naked shorts and unpriced legs are rejected.

Example prompt: "Build me a bull call spread on NVDA for the Aug 21 expiry, 145/155 strikes, quantity 5. Show P&L curve, heatmap, and Greeks."

When the agent calls generate_pinenode_strategy, a card appears with the generated strategy name, a short description, and an Open in editor button that drops you into /pinenode with the strategy pre-loaded. Useful for one-shot "build me an RSI bounce strategy on AAPL" flows.

generate_workflow_definition renders a save button: review the proposed node graph, hit save, the workflow lands in your library at /workflows ready to run. See the Workflows docs for what each node type does.

save_analysis_report stores the conversation as a citable research note. The card links to the saved report page; reports are shareable and editable.

Complex prompts naturally chain tools. The streaming bubble shows the round counter — if it's climbing, the agent is still pulling data. Most asks resolve in < 30s; research workflows can take 60–90s end to end.

The failing chip turns red and the agent typically explains the gap in its response ("I couldn't fetch the option chain — here's the analysis without it"). Retry the same prompt; transient backend errors usually clear within a tick.

It compiles, backtests, and respects thesafety analyzer— but you should still review it before live-running it. The editor opens with the strategy pre-loaded so you can read it line by line.

The chat panel itself is on every plan. Some upstream data tools (real-time options flow, ETF dark-pool prints) require a paid tier; the agent gracefully degrades to other sources when a gated tool is unavailable.
