commodities.sh vs x402stock
How commodities.sh differs from x402stock when agents need commodities depth versus a broader market catalog.
When should an agent choose commodities.sh?
When the task needs energy inventories, positioning, ags fundies, metals MCS, or derived refining/crush structure with ruthless freshness labels — not a thin commodities addon to equities.
Do both support agent discovery?
Yes. commodities.sh mirrors the discovery excellence pattern: /.well-known/x402.json, OpenAPI 3.1, llms.txt, agent.json, SKILL.md, and native MCP.
What is the freshness difference?
commodities.sh emphasizes freshness_class and quality tiers (official/indicative/derived) so weekly EIA stocks are never confused with monthly indicative metals.
