How to Check Capital Gains Rates with OpenClaw
Check capital gains rates with OpenClaw and ToolRouter. Automated capital gains rate lookups for tax workflows.
Tool
OpenClaw retrieves capital gains rates for automated tax planning workflows. Apply current rates to client portfolios, calculate after-tax proceeds across multiple sales, or flag transactions where switching from short to long-term treatment would materially reduce the tax bill.
Connect ToolRouter to OpenClaw
1Install the CLI
npm install -g toolrouter-mcp2Call tools directly from OpenClaw

toolrouter-mcp toolsSteps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Tax Reference tool:
- Ask: "Get current long-term capital gains rates by income bracket"
- OpenClaw returns current rates with thresholds
- Apply rates to specific gain scenarios: "Calculate the tax on a $200,000 gain at $400,000 income, married filing jointly"
Example Prompt
Try this with OpenClaw using the Tax Reference tool
Get current capital gains rates. For each of these transactions — $50k gain single $80k income, $120k gain married $350k income, $30k gain single $45k income — calculate the applicable rate and tax owed for both short-term and long-term treatment.
Tips
- Batch multiple client gain scenarios in one call for efficient year-end planning analysis
- Flag any transaction where waiting for long-term qualification saves more than a defined threshold amount
- Pull rates at the start of each tax year to ensure planning models use current thresholds
