## Agent Integration

This CLI is designed for agent use. Key patterns:

1. **Always use `--json`** for programmatic access
2. **Check exit codes** - 0 for success, 1 for error
3. **Use saved wallets** - Configure once with `onchain setup`, reference by name
4. **Rate limiting** - APIs have rate limits, add delays between rapid calls

### Example Agent Usage

```bash
# Get portfolio value
VALUE=$(onchain --json portfolio main | jq -r '.totalValueUsd')

# Get price with change
onchain --json price btc | jq '{price: .priceUsd, change24h: .priceChange24h}'

# Check if market is bullish
CHANGE=$(onchain --json markets | jq '.marketCapChange24h')
```
