Short answer

How can I audit my Bitcoin portfolio with my AI?

Your agent pulls the latest Bitcoin price and the official index update time to compare against your own records. This lets you spot discrepancies and confirm your data isn't stale. You'll see exactly how the AI handles the math.

Audit outcomes

What you get from the audit

These are the specific results your agent produces.

VERIFIED

Price accuracy check

The AI pulls the current USD price to check against your cost basis. You get a clear view of your current market value.

FRESHNESS

Timestamp validation

The agent checks the index update time to ensure you aren't using old data. This confirms the price is current.

RECONCILE

Discrepancy detection

The AI compares index values to your spreadsheet or list. It flags any differences that need your attention.

HUMAN

Manual adjustments

The AI cannot change your files or execute trades. You must manually update your ledger based on the AI's findings.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The agent uses the index tools to perform the audit.

  1. Fetch price

    The agent pulls the most recent Bitcoin price in USD from the index.

    get_bitcoin_price_usd

  2. Check freshness

    The agent looks up the latest index update time to verify the data is recent.

    get_latest_update_time

  3. Validate holdings

    The agent uses the current price to calculate the value of your specific BTC amounts.

    get_bitcoin_price_usd

  4. Confirm timing

    The agent uses the update time to tell you if the price is too old for your needs.

    get_latest_update_time
