CLI Trading Tools
Command-line interfaces are the verbs of the trading terminal. Each tool here gives your AI agent — or you directly — composable, scriptable, pipeable access to financial data, backtesting engines, and execution APIs.
Unix composability means you can chain these tools: fetch data, pipe to backtest, pipe to risk model, pipe to order entry. All from one terminal session.

The best CLI tools follow Unix philosophy: do one thing well, accept stdin, emit clean stdout, support JSON output for piping. We evaluate every tool for agent compatibility — can an AI agent reliably call it, parse the output, and act on it without hallucinating flags? Tools that pass that bar earn a spot in this directory.
