Analytics and Options Tools
OpenAlgo ships 18 analytics surfaces under /tools, covering the options desk, portfolio analysis and backtesting. They run inside your own installation against your broker's live data, so nothing here depends on an external service.
These are interactive UI tools rather than API endpoints. Several are backed by the Options API, so anything you can see on screen you can also automate.

What These Tools Need
A connected broker. The options tools read the live option chain, so they need a broker session with market-data entitlement for the relevant exchange. A plugin that does not cover NFO or MCX cannot feed the tools that depend on it. See Brokers for per-plugin exchange coverage.
Local history, for the backtesters. The portfolio and SIP backtesters read stored data by default rather than calling the broker on every run. Download the range you need with Historify first.
Nothing else. There is no external data vendor, no subscription and no account beyond your own broker.
Automating What You See
Several tools have a REST equivalent, so a strategy can consume the same numbers the screen shows:
Option Chain
Option Greeks
Straddle and synthetic futures
SIP Backtester
The Greeks endpoints are rate limited separately and more tightly than general data endpoints. See Rate Limiting before polling them in a loop.
