# Derivatives Positioning & Squeeze Score

> Derivatives Positioning & Squeeze Score is a paid API for AI agents from api.agentstools.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Returns a fused perpetual futures positioning brief for a given asset: aggregated funding rates, open interest, mark-vs-oracle basis, cross-venue funding spread, funding-flip trend, and a deterministic 0-100 squeeze/crowding score with verdict.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability derivatives-positioning-squeeze-score-676a0986
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full positioning brief for BTC perps — funding rates, open interest, squeeze score, and whether longs or shorts are crowded?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a single-call comprehensive positioning snapshot for a crypto perpetual, avoiding the need to hit multiple protocol APIs, normalize heterogeneous data, and compute a composite crowding/squeeze score yourself. Ideal for agents performing risk assessment, trade signal generation, or market monitoring without wanting to manage multi-source aggregation logic.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or unrecognized ticker symbol returns an error
- Upstream data source unavailability may cause partial or failed response
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol
- Malformed symbol input (e.g. unsupported quote suffix not normalized) returns validation error

## How this service works

Fusion positioning brief for a perpetual asset in ONE call: aggregate funding and APR, aggregate open interest, mark-vs-oracle basis, cross-venue funding spread, a funding-flip trend from Hyperliquid history, and a deterministic 0-100 squeeze/positioning score with a verdict and crowding direction. Saves several protocol calls plus the normalization and scoring.

## Output

A structured JSON object containing: aggregated funding rate and APR across venues, aggregated open interest, mark-vs-oracle basis, cross-venue funding spread, a funding-flip trend derived from Hyperliquid history, and a deterministic 0-100 squeeze/positioning score with a plain-language verdict and crowding direction (long/short).
