YFinance

What is the YFinance tool?

The YFinance tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to access stock market data and financial information. When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This is a free tool — no API key or external account is needed. It works out of the box when you add it to any agent.
