Three prices agree. Does that give an AI agent enough evidence to trade?
Imagine an agent preparing an $ETH โ $USDC swap.
It receives three similar quotes. But:
โข One exceeds the policyโs source-age limit.
โข One has no verifiable update timestamp.
โข Only one meets the freshness requirement.
This is a hypothetical example, not a report on todayโs market.
The prices look consistent. The evidence may still be insufficient.
I want agent risk records to distinguish:
1. A detected market risk.
2. Insufficient valid evidence.
3. A data retrieval failure.
Each requires a different response. When evidence is insufficient, the agent should follow its configured policy, pause where required, reassess, and preserve the reason.
This is part of what Iโm building with Insight: checking coverage, source age, and assessment scope alongside price disagreement.
A quote retrieved just now may still contain older source data. Three endpoints also do not establish three independent sources merely by their count.
For an agent, obtaining a price is only the starting point.
Does your agent pause when evidence is insufficientโand record exactly what is missing?
