MCP Tool Reference
Generated from
keel.tools.outcomes.OUTCOMESand the live Click command tree. Do not edit this file by hand; runpython packages/keel-trade/keel-sdk/scripts/generate_agent_reference_docs.py.
Keel currently exposes 32 outcome tools. The default local stdio MCP surface exposes 30 tools, including read-only keel_live_monitor; the 2 live-write tools are opt-in with KEEL_TOOLSETS=always,read-only,backtest,share,live-read,live-write.
KEEL_TOOLSETS=live remains a deprecated compatibility alias for live-read,live-write; new configs should use the explicit split.
MCP is the agent surface. The CLI is the reproducible terminal surface. Outcome tools share names, schemas, handlers, structured errors, and safety annotations across both surfaces.
