How do I stop my AI agent from trading on a wrong price?

Give your agent a price only when independent feeds agree. Cross-check several oracles, read the divergence, and pause when they disagree. MAXIA Oracle does this in one call across 8 feeds.

A wrong price is the most expensive bug an autonomous agent can hit. The fix is not a better single feed — it is consensus across independent feeds plus an explicit divergence signal.

MAXIA Oracle returns all 8 source values (Pyth Hermes, Chainlink, CoinGecko, RedStone, Uniswap v3, Binance, Kraken, Yahoo Finance) with age and divergence, so your agent can require agreement before it moves money. It updates every 30 seconds.

FAQ

What divergence threshold should an agent use?

A common pattern is to pause when the spread between the highest and lowest feed exceeds a few tenths of a percent for liquid assets; tune per asset and per strategy.

Is a price feed the same as investment advice?

No. A price oracle is a data feed only — no custody, no advice. Your agent's logic decides what to do.
