Swaps RFQ Pricing Agent

⬡ Fixedly Prices interest-rate-swap RFQs off the live curve within limits.
◆ Supervised Specialist

Takes the swap RFQ, prices it off the current curve plus the desk's axe and the hedging cost, and returns a level for standard tenors and clips. Bespoke structures and big DV01 tickets it routes to the desk-head/risk agent with the price and the curve risk attached.

Evals & guardrails

  • Band: prices only within preset spread/DV01 limits … else escalate to the desk-head agent.
  • Clearing-eligibility + suitability check before any level is shown.
  • Daily curve-mark consistency vs. official close.
  • Immutable quote log for surveillance.

Offline reflection

Offline review of won/lost levels to refine the spread vs. hit-ratio trade-off, gated by the desk-head agent before any band changes.

Frontier edge

  • World-model simulation: prices in the curve-hedge it would have to put on, simulating the post-trade DV01 footprint before quoting.
  • Agent-mesh negotiation: handles A2A swap RFQs from client execution agents, with AP2 mandates gating any committed level.
  • Eval-gated continual learning: tunes its spread vs. hit-ratio judgement from each won/lost level, promoted only after the desk-head agent clears it.
