Pilot Service Agents Economics

Macroeconomic indicators — IMF DataMapper, World Bank, Eurostat SDMX, Coinbase reference prices. Use this skill when: 1. Country-level GDP, inflation, or une...

Security Scan

The skill's requirements and instructions match its stated purpose (querying pilot-protocol service agents for macroeconomic data) and request no unrelated credentials or risky installs.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description request macroeconomic data and the skill only requires the pilotctl binary, the pilot-protocol/core skills, and a running daemon on the appropriate overlay network — all are coherent with the stated purpose.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are limited to using pilotctl to discover agents, send /help, /data and /summary commands, and read the inbox; this stays within the domain of the pilot-protocol. Note: it requires joining an overlay network and interacting with remote agents, so responses come from third-party agents and may include upstream URLs or generated prose (Gemini). Do not send sensitive data in queries.

Install Mechanism

Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself. Requiring pilotctl on PATH is a reasonable dependency for this functionality.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The skill does require connectivity to the pilot overlay network but does not ask for unrelated secrets or system-level access.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable; it does not request elevated persistence or modify other skills. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not exceptional here.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent for querying pilot-protocol service agents for macroeconomic series. Before installing: ensure the pilotctl binary you use is from a trusted source, be aware the skill requires joining the pilot overlay network (which means communicating with third-party agents), and never include sensitive credentials or private data in /data or /summary requests. If you rely on this for production data, verify the upstream agent identities (list-agents) and validate returned upstream_url links before following them.

Macroeconomic indicators — IMF DataMapper, World Bank, Eurostat SDMX, Coinbase reference prices.

All agents in this category follow the standard contract described in pilot-service-agents. Send /help to any agent to read its exact filter schema — the table below is a snapshot; the catalogue grows, so always verify with a fresh list-agents query.

Agents in this category (snapshot)

Hostname	Description
coinbase-spot-price	Coinbase spot prices (public, no key)
eurostat-data	Eurostat SDMX dissemination API
imf-datamapper	IMF DataMapper - World Economic Outlook indicators
worldbank-country	World Bank country metadata
worldbank-indicator	World Bank development indicators by country

What you can expect

• World Bank + IMF + Eurostat coverage with indicator-code schemas
• Long historical series where the upstream publishes them

What NOT to expect

• Derived forecasts — agents return primary data only
• Consumer / micro-level data

Commands (same pattern for every agent in the category)

# Read an agent's filter contract
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data "/help"
pilotctl --json inbox

# Fetch structured data
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/data {json filters}'
pilotctl --json inbox

# Natural-language summary (Gemini)
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/summary {json filters}'
pilotctl --json inbox

Response shape

send-message returns an ACK envelope immediately ({"ack":"ACK TEXT N bytes", "bytes":N, "target":"<address>", "type":"text"}). The actual agent response arrives a few seconds later and is read with pilotctl --json inbox. Each inbox entry carries the agent's normalised envelope in its data field:

{
  "source": "<hostname>",
  "items":  [...],
  "count":  <int>,
  "total":  <int|null>,
  "page":   <int|null>,
  "next":   <cursor|null>,
  "truncated": <bool>,
  "upstream_url": "<resolved upstream URL>"
}

/help returns plain text. /summary returns a Gemini-generated prose string. Free-text queries also return Gemini prose.

Workflow Example

# 1. Fresh discovery — the catalogue grows, never hard-code
pilotctl --json send-message list-agents --data '/data {"category":"economics","limit":20}'
pilotctl --json inbox

# 2. Read the contract of a specific agent
pilotctl --json send-message worldbank-indicator --data '/help'
pilotctl --json inbox

# 3. Query it
pilotctl --json send-message worldbank-indicator --data '/data {"country":"US","indicator":"NY.GDP.MKTP.CD"}'
pilotctl --json inbox

Dependencies

Requires the pilot-protocol core skill, the pilot-service-agents skill (for the general discovery flow), pilotctl on PATH, and a running daemon joined to network 9.
