Option contract snapshot
Returns a single options contract snapshot: break-even level, day stats, contract details, Greeks, implied volatility, open interest, latest quote and trade when your plan includes them, and underlying context. Use it to evaluate one leg, compare risk, or feed models without pulling the full chain.
