Why agents need a dedicated data layer
Autonomous and semi-autonomous agents plan, call tools and synthesise results. For Indian markets, the missing piece is a trustworthy data source the agent can call on every loop. DalalOS is that layer: structured and source-backed, with read-only market-data research capabilities and explicit freshness/provenance context.
How it works
Give the agent capabilities
Connect DalalOS so the agent can call search, quotes, financials, filings, peers and market context.
Define the workflow
Search a name, pull financials, compare peers, read filings/ownership — in sequence.
Synthesise & cite
The agent assembles a sourced research note and surfaces the available freshness context.
Workflows you can automate
Example agent prompts
EXAMPLE PROMPTS
- For each name on my watchlist, fetch the latest financials and flag any with rising promoter pledge.
- Screen mid-caps with ROCE above 20% and D/E below 0.5, then write a one-paragraph sourced brief for the first five matches.
- Build a peer-comparison table for three private banks and note data freshness.
- List all Nifty 500 results due this week and summarise each company's latest reported quarter.

FAQ
Common questions
Can I build an AI agent for Indian stock research?
Yes. Connect your AI agent to DalalOS, an MCP server exposing 56 current capabilities over streamable HTTP, and the agent can search, fetch quotes, read financials and filings, compare peers, screen the market and analyse ownership/market context for NSE/BSE companies.
Do agents get trading or order access?
No. DalalOS has no brokerage/order execution tools. Market-data research capabilities are read-only; 2 account-scoped actions only add or remove symbols from the caller's DalalOS watchlist. There are no buy/sell calls or target prices.
Why use MCP for an agent instead of scraping?
MCP gives the agent structured, consistent tool responses from official/public sources. That is more reliable and traceable than repeatedly scraping pages, and market-data responses carry source/freshness context.
Is the data real-time?
No. Quote-style prices are end-of-day; filings and other domains follow their publication cadence. Build agent logic around the returned freshness context, not intraday ticks.
