FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can my AI execute currency trades?

    No. The AI can only read market rates and perform calculations. You must handle all actual financial transactions yourself.

    Does the AI update rates automatically?

    No. The AI pulls the latest rates only when you ask a question that requires current market data.

  • 03

    Can I ask for historical exchange rates?

    No. This connector is limited to current and live market data via the available tools.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which currencies are valid?

    The agent uses the list_supported_currencies tool to verify which currency codes the API recognizes.

  • 05

    What happens if the API is down?

    The agent will use check_api_status to identify the issue and inform you that it cannot reach the market data.
