## 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-newsstand-economic-calendar-us-macro-events-f70eac9d
```

Example prompt: Pull the next 20 upcoming US macroeconomic events from Agent Newsstand's calendar — I want to see things like CPI releases, Fed meetings, and jobs reports so I can plan around them.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs structured, upcoming US macroeconomic event data without managing API keys or subscriptions — ideal for event-driven trading agents, macro-aware portfolio agents, or research assistants that need to know when key data releases (CPI, NFP, FOMC) are scheduled. Pay-per-call USDC pricing via x402 makes it suitable for ephemeral or low-frequency agent workflows where a subscription would be wasteful.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure if USDC balance on Base is insufficient (402 response)
- Limit parameter out of range (must be 1–100) returns a validation error
- No events available if calendar data source is temporarily unavailable
- Rate limiting or network timeout if the upstream macro data provider is slow

## How this service works

## Output

A list of upcoming US macroeconomic calendar events, each containing the event name, scheduled date/time, category (e.g. inflation, employment, monetary policy), and potentially forecast, previous, and actual values — up to the requested limit.
