Currency and commodity prices turn up in almost every analysis — converting a revenue line, pricing an input cost, hedging a position — yet they come from different vendors than equities and in different shapes. Through AgentKey your agent gets a spot rate, a 20-year FX series or a Brent price history with the same three calls — find_tools, describe_tool, execute_tool — with AlphaVantage behind the scenes for global FX, crypto and commodities, Tushare for China FX, futures and Shanghai Gold, and Finnhub for symbol reference.

How to use it

Pass the request in plain language and let the router pick the tool:
Name the pair or the commodity and the interval you want. Always describe_tool before executing — currency-code and interval parameters and per-call costs differ between providers.
Building with code? There is no dedicated Scenario Method for FX or commodities yet; the capability is available through the catalog today. See the Scenario Methods overview for the fixed-contract surface that does exist.

​
FAQ

The currency exchange rate tool returns a realtime rate for the pair you name, including crypto pairs. The FX, crypto and commodity time series are periodic — daily, weekly or monthly — and describe_tool lists the intervals each one supports.
Daily FX series reach back 20+ years on the AlphaVantage route. For the commodity series and the China routes, describe_tool documents the range and any row limits per call.
Here you get exchange-style OHLC series for a digital currency on a named market, alongside FX. Token metadata, on-chain holders, wallets and derivatives live under the Crypto category.
