Exchange Rate

Real-time currency exchange rate and conversion using QVeris tools.

What This Skill Does

Exchange Rate provides:

Rate lookup – Current exchange rate between two currencies (e.g. USD/EUR, CNY/JPY).
Amount conversion – Convert an amount from one currency to another at current rates.

Supported via QVeris: forex and common fiat pairs; optional historical date for rate/conversion when the tool supports it.

Key Advantages

Uses only QVeris API: search for tools by capability, then execute; no hardcoded provider list.
Fallback across providers (e.g. Alpha Vantage, Twelve Data) when one fails or is unavailable.
Same credential as other skills:
```
QVERIS_API_KEY
```
only.
Read-only, no side effects; suitable for travel, trade, and reporting.

Core Workflow

Parse user intent: rate (from_currency, to_currency) or convert (from_currency, to_currency, amount).
Search QVeris for tools: e.g. "currency exchange rate real-time", "currency conversion".
Rank results by success_rate, latency, and parameter fit (rate vs conversion).
Build request parameters: for rate use
```
from_currency
```
/
```
to_currency
```
or
```
symbol
```
(e.g.
```
EUR/USD
```
); for conversion add
```
amount
```
.
Execute chosen tool with 5s timeout; on failure try next candidate.
Return formatted rate and/or converted amount (markdown or JSON).
