Example prompt: What is the current UK Sterling 1-month mean interbank lending rate? I need the live figure with confidence level and source quality assessment for a macro analysis.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a current, evidence-backed, source-cited Sterling 1-month interbank lending rate with explicit quality and confidence metadata rather than a raw data feed. It is well-suited for macro research agents, institutional decision-support workflows, and compliance-sensitive contexts where provenance and signed attribution matter. Prefer it over generic market data APIs when you require an analytical summary with cross-market context, not just a raw rate figure.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed — 402 response if USDC payment header is missing or invalid
- Rate data temporarily unavailable — dataStatus field may indicate incomplete coverage
- Stale or low-confidence data — quality.confidence may be returned as 'low' with stated limitations
- Service outage — 5xx errors if upstream data pipeline is disrupted
- Malformed request — unexpected query parameters may be ignored silently
