# Kronos by ForgeMesh — Crypto Market Intelligence Decision

> Kronos by ForgeMesh — Crypto Market Intelligence Decision is a paid API for AI agents from kronos.forgemesh.io, paid per call via x402, $0.15/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns calibrated directional bias, anomaly scores, confidence levels, and risk context for a crypto trading pair via x402 micropayment

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability kronos-by-forgemesh-crypto-market-intelligence-decision-ebdbf935
```

Example prompt: What's Kronos's current market signal for BTC/USD — give me the directional bias, calibrated confidence, and anomaly level so I can decide whether to act.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an autonomous agent needs calibrated, historically-anchored crypto market signals with anomaly detection and auditability — especially when the agent must justify or log its decisions via a decision ID and later call /kronos/audit to verify outcomes. Prefer this over raw price feeds when confidence calibration and risk disclosure are required for compliance or accountability in automated workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid symbol query parameter returns an error
- Payment not completed via x402 returns 402 Payment Required
- Unsupported trading pair symbol returns empty or error response
- Network timeout on Base payment layer causes request failure
- Symbol format mismatch (e.g. BTCUSD vs BTC/USD) may return no data

## How this service works

Paid crypto market-intelligence API for autonomous agents. Calibrated ranges, signal context, risk state, decision journals, and outcome audits via x402 micropayments on Base.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the trading pair symbol, directional bias (e.g. upward/downward), raw confidence score (0–1), calibrated confidence percentage, anomaly score, anomaly level label, agreement score across signals, a unique decision ID for audit tracking, a next-step recommendation with cost and timing, a risk disclosure block, and flags indicating this is market intelligence only and not financial advice.
