Capability Matrix

Always inspect provider coverage instead of guessing from provider names:

agent-finance market providers
agent-finance market providers --json
agent-finance market capabilities provider-health --provider binance-stocks --json
agent-finance market provider-health binance-stocks --symbol LITE --json
agent-finance market provider-health binance-stocks --symbol LITE --deep --json
agent-finance market provider-endpoints discover --provider binance-stocks --deep --json
agent-finance market provider-endpoints add --provider binance-stocks usnbweb.net --json
agent-finance market provider-endpoints probe --provider binance-stocks --symbol LITE --json
agent-finance market provider-endpoints remove --provider binance-stocks usnbweb.net --json

Provider Rules

• Quotes: use market price SYMBOL first. Only force a provider when cross-checking.
• Session split: use market sessions SYMBOL.
• History: use market history --provider auto|yahoo|stooq|robinhood for equities; use market history --asset crypto --crypto-provider auto|binance|coinbase|okx|coingecko for crypto.
• Research: market fundamentals/events --provider auto combines useful no-key sources when available.
• Provider health: use market provider-health binance-stocks --json when Binance Stocks looks stale, blocked, schema-shifted, or inconsistent. Add --deep only when WebSocket drift or handshake quality matters.
• Provider health JSON includes route_diagnostics.cached_routes and route_diagnostics.events; use the scoped diagnostics for endpoint state, not as a current-symbol-only result set.
• Provider endpoints: use market provider-endpoints discover --provider binance-stocks --deep --json when Binance reachability is suspect or href.host-derived public candidates are needed. Deep discovery uses installed agent-browser when available and remains read-only by default; add --install-agent-browser only when the workflow explicitly needs to install it or update an existing install via agent-browser upgrade.
• Manual Binance Stocks fallback candidates are audit inputs, not trusted routes. Use market provider-endpoints add/list/probe/remove --provider binance-stocks ... --json; probe must show endpoint-level route health before treating a manual candidate as usable.
• Binance crypto public REST uses ranked, bounded public fallback routes when no API key is attached. Binance WebSocket streams use the same ranked route and diagnostics pipeline, but built-in WS coverage currently has one official/builtin candidate per market unless additional candidates are discovered or configured.
• Binance public fallback is no-key only. Signed account, order, transfer, and futures-state operations must stay on official Binance API hosts; do not send API keys to fallback domains.
• SEC EDGAR is official for filings and XBRL facts, not market quotes, options, analyst estimates, or news aggregation.
• Robinhood and CNBC are partial no-key sources; use them as cross-checks, not replacements for official filings or primary disclosures.
• Stooq live can provide no-key daily/weekly/monthly history; intraday bulk data requires explicit imported ZIP cache.
• Crypto: use capability-first commands such as market crypto quote/book/trades/candles/funding/open-interest/discover, then force --provider binance|coinbase|okx|coingecko only when cross-checking or auditing.
• Binance Spot and USD-M Futures are tier-1 crypto market-data providers. Use agent-finance skills get crypto.
• Binance USD-M futures / TradFi perps are derivative instruments and proxy price-discovery sources, not legal equity.
• Coinbase is a spot exchange cross-check for products, tickers, stats, books, trades, candles, and volume summary.
• OKX is a spot/derivatives exchange cross-check for instruments, tickers, books, trades, candles, funding, mark price, and open interest.
• CoinGecko is an aggregate crypto source for simple price, coin metadata, markets, tickers, OHLC, market charts, trending, global, exchanges, and derivatives discovery.
• Polymarket is a prediction-market sentiment source. Use market polymarket search and market polymarket market for implied probability, orderbook, liquidity, OI, holder preview rows, and probability history; do not use it as an equity quote or primary-source fact.

Browser Boundary

The CLI can read many public HTTP sources, but it is not a full browser. Dynamic, login-gated, screenshot-sensitive, or noisy pages require a real browser tool.
