Example agent prompt

“what’s the macro regime today? show me equity, vol, rates, and crypto returns 1d and 5d.”

Why this exists

Every trading agent needs a macro context check before fired. Is risk-on or risk-off? Are rates rising or falling? Vol expanding or compressing? This tool delivers all the signals in one call, with 1d + 5d returns pre-computed so the agent doesn’t need to do math on raw prices.

Powers the macro-regime gate on multiple FalsifyLab bots (mood_filter, aquila, lyra-gold).
