WHAT IT DOES

What getStockExchangeHolidays does on API Ninjas

AI agents call getStockExchangeHolidays to retrieve information from API Ninjas without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`mic`	string	—	Market Identifier Code (e.g., XNYS). Filters results to a specific exchange.
`name`	string	—	Stock exchange name (supports partial matching).

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why getStockExchangeHolidays is rated Low

Even though getStockExchangeHolidays only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
