Questions about tengu_v3_intel_commodities

What does the tengu_v3_intel_commodities tool do? +

REAL-TIME spot prices for the macro commodities (oil WTI/Brent, gold, silver, nat-gas, copper). AUTHORITATIVE source for any numeric commodity claim — call this BEFORE quoting a price level. QUOTE 'spot' DIRECTLY — it's the live commodity price (FRED's last published close anchored to the live commodity-tracking ETF's cumulative return since that date, so it reflects today's market not FRED's T+1..T+5 publish lag). 'unit' tells you the dimension (USD/barrel for oil, USD/MMBtu for natgas, USD/metric-ton for copper). Response fields per item: 'spot' (live number — quote this), 'unit' (dimension), 'spot_basis' ('live_etf_bridged' = FRED+ETF bridge | 'fred_close' = FRED only, no ETF available | 'etf_share_price' = FRED dead, falling back to ETF SHARE price [unit reads 'USD per share of {ETF}'] — DO NOT claim $/oz when basis is etf_share_price), 'spot_time' (timestamp of the live observation), 'live_spot_estimate' (same as spot when bridged, else null), 'live_basis' (transparent arithmetic, e.g. 'FRED WTI $99.89 (2026-04-27) × (USO 142.80 / 134.72)'), 'bridge_return_pct' (ETF return applied to FRED), 'official_close' + 'official_close_as_of' (FRED audit value — quote ONLY if user explicitly asks for the last settlement / closing price), 'change_pct_1d/5d/30d' (FRED-window returns), 'history_5d' (last 6 FRED observations newest-first), 'fred_days_stale' + 'is_stale' (publish-lag flags — informational; spot is still live regardless), 'etf_proxy_quote' (the underlying ETF snapshot used for the bridge; for transparency only). 'symbol=oil' returns both WTI and Brent; default 'all' returns all six. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tengu MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
