Validate Symbol

GET 
/v2/auto/validate-symbol/:exchange/:symbol

Check whether a symbol is tradable as a perpetual on the given exchange.

Use this before submitting an EQL query whose action is market_order or limit_order (or an llm callback to either) — those actions only execute on perps, and the scheduler rejects symbols not present in the exchange's perp universe. Spot-only tokens (e.g. HFUN) return "false" here even though they may still be queryable in price/sentiment conditions.
