Asking your agent in Terminal

Terminal is where you talk to your agent in plain words. It can look things up, answer questions about your own activity, and build one trade for you to approve. Everything it reads is for your agent's wallet. Its trades come from your agent's wallet too, or, in connected mode, are built for your Pera wallet and wait for you to sign them in Pera. If the Terminal page says it is not live yet, messages are refused until it opens.

What you can ask

• Prices and facts about a coin, your wallet, Algorand or PortMula. A price or a check it buys is paid from your agent's wallet, like any other call.
• Your own records, free: recent runs and why one failed, what you spent in a period (days are counted in your own time zone), your automations and when they next run, your trades with their transaction ids, and how a pool position compares with having held the two coins. These are your own activity only, so they cannot say what is rising in the market. A coin that came from outside PortMula has no cost basis here, and the answer says so.
• Coins by name, free. Your agent looks the name up and uses a verified match. If only unverified coins or several coins have that name, it lists their ids and asks which you mean; it never picks one for you.

Terminal can use any outcome that is live on your plan, not only the ones your automations hold. It gives facts, not advice: whether to buy or sell is your decision.

Asking for a trade

Say the whole trade in one message, such as "swap 1 USDC for ALGO". If a value it needs is missing, your agent asks before anything is built, and nothing is paid for. One message builds at most one trade. It appears on a card showing every value it was built with, and nothing is signed until you approve it there. Your trade limits in Settings apply.

Your agent reads your recent messages as context, but money never moves from earlier messages alone: "yes, do it" builds nothing. To build a trade, say it in one message.

What Terminal will not do

It can propose setting up, changing, pausing, resuming or removing an automation, and nothing is saved until you press Confirm on the card it shows. Something that should repeat belongs in an automation. Pause everything in Settings stops Terminal along with everything else.

Your daily message allowance

Your plan sets how many Terminal messages you can send a day, separately from its runs a day. The Terminal page shows how many you have left today, the count resets at midnight UTC, and Settings shows each plan's allowance. Questions that bought and built nothing are hidden on Runs unless you tick Show free Terminal messages.
