  "description": "CFTC Commitments of Traders positioning made agent-callable. One x402 call takes a futures market (crude, gold, silver, copper, natgas, corn, wheat, soybeans, sp500, nasdaq, euro, yen, pound, bitcoin, 10y, bonds, sofr...) and returns a positioning signal (Crowded Long / Lean Long / Neutral / Lean Short / Crowded Short) driven by where the large speculators' net position sits versus its own 3-year history — the classic contrarian read (a crowded long often precedes mean-reversion; a crowded short often precedes a squeeze). Returns large-spec long/short/net with the 3-year percentile, the commercial (hedger) net on the other side, small-trader net, week-over-week change and open interest. The TradFi/commodity-futures analog of the FundingRates / OpenInterest positioning cluster, served pay-per-call. $0.05 in USDC on Base via x402.
