Fintel DataFinance Skill
A read-only data skill that queries the Fintel API for institutional-grade market intelligence. It covers API key resolution (env var, .env, repo root), security resolution by ticker/CUSIP/ISIN/FIGI, endpoint matching across short interest, borrow rates, short volume, FTD, 13F holders, insider transactions, analyst estimates, calendars, EOD prices, leaderboards, and watchlists. Supports both REST (curl) and MCP surfaces with the same data contract. Designed for research questions about short interest, institutional ownership, and insider activity.
