How AI agents should read market data responses Customer guide

At a glance

Every Cornerstones response should be treated as market evidence with account context. The customer-facing rule is simple: check source, freshness, quality, and whether the account is allowed to use the requested surface.

What to inspect

  • Source labels and provenance.
  • Freshness and timestamp information.
  • Data quality notes.
  • Availability or account-access state.
  • Symbol and market normalization when present.

How to handle unavailable surfaces

Unavailable data is a product boundary, not a reason to invent a result. Agents should use the allowed market context for the current account and clearly state when a premium surface was not included.
