What token_market_data does on AgentPay x402 — Economic-intelligence layer for AI Agents

AI agents call token_market_data to retrieve information from AgentPay x402 — Economic-intelligence layer for AI Agents without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why token_market_data needs a policy

token_market_data purely queries and returns immutable market statistics. It neither executes trades, modifies blockchain state, moves funds, nor triggers external operations. The information retrieved is informational only and cannot be weaponized by an agent for unauthorized financial activity; it requires downstream tools for actual execution.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] market cap, 24h volume, ATH, and price change' — all retrieval operations with no side effects. Explicitly clarifies it 'does NOT return pool depth or slippage' and directs users to other tools for actionable trading data.
