Is options context available to every user?
No. Options context belongs to plan-aware premium surfaces.
Agent-native market data
Options market context for AI agents
Use Cornerstones to expose options context as a premium product surface. Agents can reason about chains, walls, analysis context, and event risk while private data sourcing and execution remain hidden.
Question
How can AI agents use options context without direct private market-data integrations?
When this problem happens
- Options agents often need more than last price: they need chain context, event risk, and plan boundaries.
- Raw source integrations can leak implementation detail into generated strategy code.
- Premium options context should be clearly gated so Free workflows do not assume it exists.
Recommended architecture
Expose options as a premium read-only context surface and keep execution, position state, and private adapters outside the public agent boundary.
Implementation steps
- Begin with access-matrix discovery so the agent understands options are a gated context surface.
- Use authenticated Pro or higher access when options context is required by the workflow.
- Keep returned context read-only and separate from position sizing or order execution.
- Record which options surfaces were used in review notes for auditability.

| Option | Best for | Tradeoff |

| Direct private options feed | Internal execution systems | Too much source detail for public agents |
| Static option screenshots | Human discussion | Not machine-verifiable or fresh |
FAQ
What can agents do with options context?
They can analyze market structure, event risk, and evidence, but not execute trades through Cornerstones.
Why mention plan gates?
Plan gates prevent agents from assuming premium data under starter access.
Should options copy name backend sources?
No. Public pages should discuss product capabilities only.
