What it does for your agent

equity_intraday_prices returns 1h OHLCV bars for a single US equity (NYSE / NASDAQ) during the regular trading session. Use it as the intraday pricing primitive an agent reaches for when answering “how did this trade today / over the last few sessions, did it gap, did it reverse, how did it close” — without pulling overly fine minute-level data. It is the short-lookback companion to equity_historical_prices: same equity-bars family, same response envelope, but intraday bars and a tighter window. Two query modes share one endpoint: pass limit to get the most recent N closed bars, or pass start_date + end_date for a short window. Only closed bars are returned — the in-progress bar is never included.

Notes

time is an ISO 8601 UTC timestamp marking the start of each bar. Bars cover the US regular session, so convert to America/New_York if you need exchange-local hours.
Use data.prices.length when you need the returned bar count; meta is reserved for credits and optional notices.
Hourly interval only. Minute-level (1m, 5m, 15m) and 30m bars are not exposed. Pass interval=1h or omit it; any other value returns a 400 error.
Regular session only. Pre-market and after-hours bars are not included. For full trading days, use equity_historical_prices.
No real-time quote. The current, still-forming bar is excluded until it closes. For the latest tick, this tool isn’t the right primitive.
Short lookback. Recent mode caps at 70 bars (~10 trading days); range mode caps at a 14 calendar-day window. For longer history, use daily bars.
