# Market Research

Research prices, liquidity, exchanges, OHLC, order books, and derivatives context.

## Trigger

Use this skill for live crypto market research including prices, liquidity, exchange data, OHLC candles, order books, tickers, funding rates, derivatives, and trading context. Use it whenever the user needs current market data or venue-specific market evidence.

## Use when

- price
- market
- spot
- exchange
- order book
- ohlc
- volume
- funding
- open interest
- liquidations
- derivatives
- options

## Source

Canonical source path: `agent-skills/packs/hive-market-research/SKILL.md`

## Task toolsets

- `market_research` — Answer price, market cap, OHLC, exchange, order book, derivatives, and trading-context questions. Required identifiers: token symbol or contract, chain or exchange id.

## Procedure

1. Read `hive://toolsets` or call `search_tools` to confirm the task.
2. Ask for any missing required identifier before execution.
3. Call `get_api_endpoint_schema` before invoking an exact endpoint.
4. Call `invoke_api_endpoint` with schema-valid arguments.
5. Report freshness, source, warnings, and runtime status.

## Runtime status handling

Hive uses `ok`, `missing_key`, `plan_required`, `rate_limited`, `degraded`, `failing`.
A non-`ok` state means the tool exists but the runtime cannot complete that call
right now. Do not hide or remove the tool.
