Why agents need a dedicated data layer
Autonomous and semi-autonomous agents plan, call tools and synthesise results. For Indian markets, they need a trustworthy data source to call on each loop. DalalOS supplies that layer: structured, source-backed data with read-only market-data research capabilities and explicit freshness and 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
The agent searches a name, pulls financials, compares peers and reads filings and ownership, in that order.
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 59 current capabilities over streamable HTTP. The agent can then search, fetch quotes, read financials and filings, compare peers, screen the market and analyse ownership and market context for NSE/BSE companies.
- Do agents get trading or order access?
- No. DalalOS has no brokerage or order execution tools. Market figures are read from cache. Filing tools can queue processing and use on-demand quota. 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 and public sources. Scraping pages on every run is less reliable and harder to trace. Market-data responses also carry source and 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.
