Perplexity

Vectorize Historical PTAX Dollar Rates

Standard RAG apps fail at answering specific historical finance questions. You fix this by letting your FunctionAgent call `get_dolar_periodo` to pull official Brazilian Central Bank bulletins for a specific date range. LlamaIndex takes those JSON responses and indexes them directly into your vector store. When a user asks about BRL volatility last October, the agent retrieves the actual PTAX intermediate and closing rates instead of guessing.

Query 150+ Currencies via MCP Server

Corporate treasuries deal with exotic currencies that standard LLMs hallucinate about. Your setup uses `listar_moedas` to pull the complete Central Bank catalog, including codes like COP, MXN, and THB. The agent stores this catalog in a searchable knowledge base. It then executes `get_cotacao_moeda` to fetch the official buy and sell rates for any specific currency. This grounds the final response in live government data.

Ground Agents in SGS Time Series

Long-term macroeconomic analysis requires decades of exchange rate data. LlamaIndex routes these queries to the MCP Server using `get_dolar_sgs`. It pulls series 1 for buy rates and 10813 for sell rates formatted as DD/MM/YYYY. The returned commercial dollar records become part of your queryable index alongside your internal financial PDFs. Your agent synthesizes answers using both your private documents and the official public exchange rates.
