Resolve and normalize stock symbols between formats.
AI agents call resolve_symbol to retrieve information from Stock Data MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool converts stock symbols between different formats (e.g., different market conventions). It only reads/maps symbol data with no side effects, no data modification, and no financial transactions.
