AI agents call spread_iron_condor to retrieve information from Trading Skills without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs analysis of an iron condor options strategy given specific strike prices and expiry. The word 'Analyze' indicates it retrieves/computes data (pricing, Greeks, risk/reward) without placing any trades. However, given the server context includes Interactive Brokers portfolio management tools, there is a small chance it could trigger orders, but the description strongly suggests read-only analysis.
