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

# 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')
