US Economic, SEC EDGAR & On-Chain Data (x402)

US Treasury Yield Curve

treasury_yield_curve
Read-onlyIdempotent

Current and recent U.S. Treasury par yield curve rates, with the spreads traders actually watch already computed.

Returns every published tenor (1 month through 30 years) for the latest business day, plus the 2s10s spread, the 3m10y spread, and an inversion flag. Source is the U.S. Treasury's official daily par yield curve (public domain, no attribution required).

When to use: you need risk-free rates for discounting, a read on the curve's shape, or recession-signal context (curve inversion).

When NOT to use: you need intraday quotes (this publishes once per business day) or non-U.S. sovereign curves.

Args:

  • days (integer, optional, default 1): how many recent business days to return, newest first (1-30).

Returns structuredContent: { "asOf": "2026-08-14", "latest": { "date": "2026-08-14", "tenors": { "1M": 3.79, "3M": 3.86, "2Y": 4.17, "10Y": 4.68, "30Y": 5.25 }, "spread2s10s": 0.51, "spread3m10y": 0.82, "inverted": false }, "history": [ ...same shape, newest first... ], "source": "https://home.treasury.gov/..." }

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Beyond annotations (read-only, etc.), the description discloses update frequency (once per business day), data source, and full output structure. It explains the inversion flag and history ordering, providing rich behavioral context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is well-structured and front-loaded with the core purpose. The example output is arguably necessary given no output schema, and every section adds value.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description compensates fully by showing a concrete structuredContent example, covering the latest and history. It also clarifies use cases and limitations, making it complete for a single-parameter tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, and the Args section merely repeats the schema's description of 'days' including the 1-30 range and default. No new meaning is added, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The first sentence clearly states the tool provides U.S. Treasury par yield curve rates with computed spreads. It distinguishes itself from siblings by specifying the exact data (tenors, 2s10s, 3m10y, inversion flag) and the official source.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicit 'When to use' and 'When NOT to use' sections give concrete context: use for discounting/curve shape/recession signals, not for intraday quotes or non-U.S. curves. This is strong guidance even without naming sibling tools.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
