Fed economic snapshot

Key Federal Reserve economic indicators - fed funds rate, unemployment, and CPI - in one call.

$0.10 per call · one payment for the whole workflow

POST /api/skill/fred-snapshot

3 tools run server-side in one request. You pay once, settle once, and get a single response - no orchestration, no per-step payments, and a partial-success envelope if any step fails. USDC over x402 on any supported chain.

When to use this pack

An agent providing economic context needs the three most-watched Fed indicators: where rates are (FEDFUNDS), how tight the labor market is (UNRATE), and where inflation stands (CPIAUCSL). Three FRED series calls bundled into one payment.

Tools in this pack

All 3 run inside the single $0.10 call above. Each is also callable on its own if you only need one part.
