What OptionLens computes

OptionLens prices European calls and puts with the Black-Scholes-Merton model and returns the full Greek set — delta, gamma, vega, theta, and rho — in both canonical and conventional display units, plus intrinsic value, time value, and moneyness. It supports a continuous dividend yield.

What you send

Provide spot, strike, time to expiry in years, volatility, an optional risk-free rate and dividend yield, and the option type. The normal CDF is computed with a high-accuracy approximation, so prices and Greeks are stable and reproducible across calls.

How an agent calls it

POST the parameters to /api/agent-services/options/price and pay $0.30 per call over x402. The response includes d1 and d2 alongside the price and Greeks so a hedging or market-making agent can size positions and risk in one request.

Why not let the model do it

Black-Scholes involves an error-function evaluation an LLM will only approximate. A deterministic endpoint returns the same, correct price and Greeks every time — the difference between a hedge that holds and one that drifts.
