Get the full list of supported tickers.
AI agents call list_tickers 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 queries and retrieves a static list of supported financial ticker symbols. It is purely informational, read-only, and has no ability to modify data, execute code, or affect financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only obtain market data reference information. Classified as Read with low severity.
