## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent-tools-fx-rates-ecb-7ae840c4
```

Example prompt: What's today's ECB reference rate for USD as the base currency — I need EUR and JPY rates for an invoice I'm preparing?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need official, authoritative ECB reference rates for financial calculations, invoicing, compliance, or accounting — especially when a trusted institutional source (European Central Bank) is required. Prefer this over free-tier or crypto-exchange-based FX APIs when rate credibility and historical accuracy matter. Best suited for EUR-centric use cases or any scenario requiring standardized reference rates rather than live market bid/ask spreads.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid base currency code returns an error or empty rates
- Future dates return no data (ECB rates are not forward-looking)
- Very old historical dates may not be available in the ECB dataset
- Unsupported symbol codes in the comma-separated symbols list may be silently omitted or cause an error
- Weekend/holiday dates may return rates from the last available business day

## How this service works

Currency exchange rates (European Central Bank reference rates) for price conversion, invoicing and travel budgets. Latest or historical by date.

## Output

A JSON object containing the base currency, the rate date (today or requested historical date), and a map of currency codes to their exchange rates relative to the base, plus a source attribution ('European Central Bank via Frankfurter').
