# Market pulse Answer "what's happening *right now*?" from AlphaAI's feed. Two tools cover two different questions — pick the right one: - **`alphai_actionable_now`** — breaking, *decision-grade* news from the last few hours. The gate is strict: by default only `actionability='high'` (something to act on TODAY — guidance cut, halted trading, breaking M&A, surprise print). - **`alphai_trending`** — top stories of the last 48h by relevance. The "big picture", not necessarily urgent. ## Steps 1. **Start narrow, with `alphai_actionable_now()`** (defaults: last 6h, high-actionability). This is the real "is anything breaking" signal. 2. **Read an empty result correctly.** Outside major market hours (nights, weekends — crypto trades 24/7, but high-actionability prints still cluster in US/European/Asian sessions) an empty list is *expected* — it means no high-actionability prints in the window, **not** that the tool failed. Before concluding "nothing happened", widen once: `alphai_actionable_now(hours=24, min_actionability='medium')`. 3. **Add the backdrop with `alphai_trending(limit=10)`.** Use this for the "bigger stories shaping the week" layer even when nothing is breaking. 4. **Optional focus.** If the user named a sector or theme, resolve it to tickers (`alphai_tickers(q=...)` or your own knowledge), then `alphai_news_search(tickers=[...], min_relevance=7)` — there is no free-text news search; match themes client-side on the returned titles/
