# Agent Economy Signal – Agent Brief

> Agent Economy Signal – Agent Brief is a paid API for AI agents from agent-economy-signal-x402-mainnet.bronzetti-andrea.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns a deterministic market-intelligence signal (ACT_NOW, RESEARCH_NOW, MONITOR, DEPRIORITIZE, or IGNORE) for emerging opportunities in the AI agent economy across protocols, infrastructure, tooling, and machine-to-machine commerce.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent-economy-signal-agent-brief-e6b328f7
```

Example prompt: Give me today's agent-economy signal brief — I want to know whether there are any ACT_NOW or RESEARCH_NOW opportunities across agent protocols, infrastructure, or machine-to-machine commerce right now, with the conviction and acceleration scores behind the recommendation.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent or analyst needs a quick, opinionated, pre-computed market signal specifically about the agent economy — rather than raw data feeds or general market APIs. It is particularly useful for autonomous agents making timed resource-allocation decisions, as the deterministic output labels (ACT_NOW through IGNORE) are directly machine-actionable without further interpretation. Prefer this over general web search or news APIs when you need structured conviction scores and acceleration signals specific to agent protocols, agent tooling, and M2M commerce.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or x402 challenge not completed — returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — returns 429 Too Many Requests
- Service temporarily unavailable on Cloudflare Workers — returns 503
- Stale or no signal data available — may return degraded or cached results
- Invalid request format — returns 400 Bad Request

## How this service works

Agent Decision Signal. One x402 payment buys one deterministic machine-readable market decision.

## Output

A structured brief containing a deterministic decision label (ACT_NOW, RESEARCH_NOW, MONITOR, DEPRIORITIZE, or IGNORE) along with underlying signal scores — conviction, acceleration, freshness, and persistence — covering emerging opportunities across AI agent protocols, infrastructure, tooling, and machine-to-machine commerce categories.
