Tips & Limitations

- Content Policy: Remember that the news content retrieved is copyrighted. Use the agent to provide concise summaries and insights rather than scraping or republishing full article text.
- Data Accuracy: Always verify breaking financial news with secondary sources if making high-stakes financial decisions. The tool is intended for information aggregation, not as a source of truth for real-time trade execution.
