# signal-strength

`station__formula__signal-strength` · external (needs EXECUTION_BACKEND_URL configured) · domain `formula` · pv-relevance `non-pv`

Signal strength composite S = U × R × T. All inputs [0,1]. Higher = stronger signal.

> **Note:** This tool routes through an external execution backend. If `EXECUTION_BACKEND_URL` is unset on the server, calls return JSON-RPC error `-32603 "Tool execution backend not configured"`. Tools with `backend: native` execute in-process and are always callable.
