Execute using mcp__claude_ai_Parallax__* tools. JIT-load _parallax/parallax-conventions.md for execution mode, RIC resolution, and fallback patterns.
Call ToolSearch with query "+Parallax" to load the deferred MCP tool schemas before the first mcp__claude_ai_Parallax__* call.
get_peer_snapshot. Identify the peer group and top 2 most relevant peers.export_peer_comparison with format="json".Peer symbols from get_peer_snapshot may lack exchange suffixes (e.g., GM instead of GM.N). Before proceeding, resolve each peer symbol to RIC format using the exchange suffix table in parallax-conventions.md. Single-letter tickers like F will trigger "Symbol too short" errors without the suffix.
export_price_series is the equity-only price endpoint; sector/country ETFs (which get_peer_snapshot can occasionally surface as peers) silently return empty from it and would otherwise be dropped from the relative-price-performance comparison. Before Batch B, classify each leg (primary + top 2 peers):
etf_profile(<plain_ticker>) in parallel.{"error": "No profile data found", ...} โ equity, route through export_price_series.etf_daily_price.This adds 3 FREE/instant calls (per _parallax/token-costs.md).
Fire all 6 calls simultaneously:
get_score_analysis for primary + top 2 peers (3 calls). If the user supplied weeks=N in the invocation, pass it as weeks as int N (non-default โ see conventions ยง0.1); otherwise rely on the server default of 52.export_price_series(symbol=<ric>, days=<N>, format="json"). Default days=100.etf_daily_price(symbol=<plain_ticker>, start_date=<today โ days>, end_date=<today>).Halt-and-surface rule: if a leg returns empty from BOTH endpoints, exclude it from the price-performance section and render an explicit note: "โ Could not retrieve price history for <symbol>; relative price chart shows the remaining legs only." Never silently drop a leg without disclosure.
