X-API-Key credentials or browser sessions. An agentic gateway can use API keys, OpenAPI, docs, CLI, MCP Server, Skill, SDKs, REST, or WebSocket depending on the host.
Gateway Layers
| Layer | Role | Docs |
|---|---|---|
| Route map | Prevent endpoint and namespace guessing | OpenAPI and Venue coverage |
| Context | Tell the agent how to choose routes and interpret fields | AI clients |
| Execution surface | Give the host a safe way to call or generate calls | AI interface map |
| Auth boundary | Keep keys out of prompts and checked-in config | Authentication |
| Data gate | Stop stale or incomplete data from becoming output | Data quality |
| Account verification | Use wallet-signature verification only when needed | SIWE verification |
Gateway Boundary Checklist
Use this checklist before an agent writes a script, configures a tool, or widens a market-data job.| Boundary | Public rule |
|---|---|
| Market-data route | Choose the venue family in Venue coverage, then use OpenAPI or the matching REST family for the exact path and parameters. |
| Credential handling | Put keys in the host environment or secret manager, then send REST requests with X-API-Key; do not paste keys into generated source or prompts. |
| Execution surface | Pick one surface for the first run: REST, CLI, SDK, MCP Server, Skill, WebSocket, or OpenAPI codegen. |
| First request | Use one route family, one symbol, one small window, and request-ID logging before adding loops, storage, dashboards, or models. |
| Payment and wallet flows | Use Facilitator for x402 payment infrastructure and SIWE verification for wallet-signature account checks. Neither changes market-data route shape, schemas, or freshness checks. |
| Stop condition | If venue family, symbol format, credential path, route shape, or data-quality requirement is missing, resolve that before execution. |
When To Use This Pattern
Use an agentic gateway pattern when a coding agent, analyst assistant, dashboard builder, or internal automation should fetch market data but should not invent routes, run unlimited loops, or ignore freshness. The gateway is the combination of context, auth, route contract, and bounded execution. Do not use this page to claim a separate hosted agent product unless a live product surface shows it. The public docs should describe the integration pattern and point readers to the concrete surfaces that exist.Implementation Rules
Pin route context
Give the agent OpenAPI plus the page matching the job, such as Venue Coverage, Data Quality, REST, or WebSocket.
Choose one execution surface
Use CLI for terminal jobs, MCP Server for MCP-capable hosts, Skill for reusable workflows, SDKs for application code, or REST for direct HTTP.
Limit the first call
Require one route family, one symbol, one small window, and request-ID logging before widening.
