> (Request) 
Please use the `getStockHistory` tool to fetch the daily stock data for AAPL for the past week (`period`='1w', `interval`='1d'). Then, render the results as a markdown table.

> (Response Example)
I'll help you fetch Apple's stock data and format it nicely as a markdown table.
First, I'll call the getStockHistory tool to fetch the data:

Let me format this data into a more readable markdown table:

| Date | Open | High | Low | Close | Volume |
|------|------|------|-----|-------|---------|
| Mar 31, 2025 | $217.01 | $225.62 | $216.23 | $222.13 | 65.30M |
| Apr 1, 2025 | $219.81 | $223.68 | $218.90 | $223.19 | 36.41M |
| Apr 2, 2025 | $221.32 | $225.19 | $221.02 | $223.89 | 35.91M |
| Apr 3, 2025 | $205.54 | $207.49 | $201.25 | $203.19 | 103.42M |
| Apr 4, 2025 | $193.89 | $199.88 | $187.34 | $188.38 | 125.57M |

Some notable observations from this data:
- The stock showed significant volatility over this period
- There was a sharp decline in the last two trading days
- Trading volume increased substantially during the declining days, with the highest volume (125.57M shares) on April 4th
- The stock price range was from a high of $225.62 to a low of $187.34 during this period
