syrto_list_available_metrics returns a catalogue of all available Syrto metrics, optionally filtered by type. Use it to discover metric slugs when you need to call syrto_get_company_metrics for metrics not already covered by syrto_get_company_analysis.
For general financial analysis, call syrto_get_company_analysis directly — no slug discovery needed. Only use this tool when you need to retrieve specific metrics (e.g. individual balance sheet line items) outside the four Syrto categories.

​
Use this tool to

  • Discover available metric slugs by type
  • Build custom metric sets and confirm correct slug names
  • Browse all available Syrto metrics
Related tools: For metric formulas and definitions, use Metric definitions. For actual metric values, use Company metrics.

​
Arguments

​
metric_type
string
Optional filter. One of: "balance_sheet_item", "financial_ratio", "profitability", "liquidity", "solvency", "structure", "spider_graph_axes", "spider_graph", "Group of Variables". If omitted, returns a compact catalogue of all metrics grouped by type.
​
language
string
"en" for English (default) or "it" for Italian.

​
Metric types

TypeWhat it contains
balance_sheet_itemRaw balance sheet and income statement line items — revenue, costs, assets, liabilities (absolute figures in EUR)
financial_ratioOther calculated ratios and indices not in the four Syrto categories (e.g. composite scores, radar components)
profitabilityProfitability metrics — EBITDA, EBIT, ROE, ROA, margins, returns
liquidityLiquidity metrics — working capital, cash conversion cycle, current ratio
solvencySolvency metrics — debt ratios, coverage ratios, leverage, financial sustainability
structureStructure metrics — asset composition, capital structure, capex intensity
spider_graph_axesIndividual axes used in spider graph visualizations — each axis represents a specific financial dimension
spider_graphComposite spider graph templates that group multiple axes into thematic financial breakdowns
Group of VariablesGrouped variable sets used for composite calculations and aggregated indicators

​
Returns

​
total_metrics
integer
Total number of metrics across all types.
​
categories
object[]
List of metric type groups, each with:
  • type — metric category name
  • count — number of metrics in this group
  • metrics — list of metric entries
Compact mode (no metric_type): each metric has slug and name only.Detailed mode (with metric_type): each metric also includes description, unit of measure, and better_if direction.
​
note
string
Context note about data availability and where to find more on syrto.ai.
The slug is an internal identifier. Use the human-readable name field for display.

​
Typical workflow

  1. Call syrto_list_available_metrics with metric_type="balance_sheet_item" or "financial_ratio" to browse available slugs
  2. Identify the slugs relevant to your question
  3. Pass those slugs to syrto_get_company_metrics

​
Example

Get full details for balance sheet metrics: 
{
  "metric_type": "balance_sheet_item"
}
Result:
  • Returns all balance sheet item metrics with full details: name, slug, description, unit, and direction
  • Pick the slugs you need (e.g. revenues, total_assets), then pass them to syrto_get_company_metrics
