Look up information about the stock splits factor for different symbols.
AI agents call get_splits_data to retrieve information from Marketstack MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves historical stock split information—a read-only query of financial market data. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations.
