Use Pyth Network

The Use Pyth Network tool, part of AgentiPy, enables users to interact with the Pyth Network on Solana. Its primary function is to fetch real-time token price data from Pyth's on-chain oracles.

Functionality

This tool is implemented in the PythManager class. It uses the pythclient library to connect to Pyth Network endpoints and retrieve price information.

Key Methods:

• get_price(mint_address: str):

  • (Static async method) Fetches the current aggregate price data for a given token mint_address (string representing the Pyth price account, which might be different from the SPL token mint for a given asset).

  • It initializes a SolanaClient from pythclient using PythNet's public HTTP/WS endpoints.

  • Creates a PythPriceAccount object and calls update() to get the latest price.

  • Returns a dictionary containing:

    • price: The aggregate price.

    • confidence_interval: The confidence interval for the price.

    • status: The trading status of the price feed (e.g., "TRADING", "NOT_TRADING").

    • message: An optional message if the status is not "TRADING".

  • Closes the solana_client connection after fetching the price.

Important Considerations:

• Direct On-Chain/Oracle Interaction: This tool interacts directly with the Pyth Network's oracle program accounts on Solana via Pyth's defined client endpoints.

• Pyth Price Accounts: You must use the correct Pyth price account address for the asset you are interested in. These are specific to Pyth and are not the same as SPL token mint addresses, though they correspond to an underlying asset. Refer to Pyth Network documentation for a list of available price feeds.

• Price Status: Always check the status field in the response. A status other than "TRADING" (e.g., "UNKNOWN", "HALTED") means the price may not be current or reliable.
