Retrieves the current spot price and 24-hour change for any cryptocurrency using the CoinGecko public API. Returns price, percentage change, and a timestamp. This is a lightweight variant of crypto_price that omits extended market data (market cap, volume) — use it when only the raw price and 24h direction are needed. Prefer crypto_price when the agent also needs market capitalisation, trading volume, or richer structured output. Use crypto_fx_rates when converting a specific amount between a cryptocurrency and fiat (e.g. 'convert 0.5 BTC to USD') rather than looking up a spot price. Supports all major coins including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE, and 10,000+ CoinGecko-listed assets. Accepts ticker symbols (BTC, ETH) or full names (bitcoin, ethereum). Target currency defaults to USD but accepts any ISO 4217 code.
