Sure, but are all your (and your users' and vendors') engineers and LLM agents going to remember that? When in doubt, always be explicit.

I'm curious how you handle that.

Let's say I operate with a 4 decimal expectation and your API expects 6, is there any way to reconcile that outside of documentation and or metadata ? (which would be the same issue I guess whatever representation is used ?)

		Yeah, you need to document it. Still, even if you do: Chances that your users are just going to assume you're conforming to ISO 4217, some national standard, or your competitor that they're already integrated with are pretty high, so I wouldn't take the chance. Pick something that doesn't have to be documented instead.
