## 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 agentfund-us-pce-inflation-data-86e5c3c6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the latest US PCE inflation reading — the one the Fed actually uses to measure inflation — including core PCE and how it changed month-over-month and year-over-year?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation metric (PCE) rather than CPI. Use it for Fed policy analysis, monetary policy briefings, inflation trend monitoring, or any context where the distinction between PCE and CPI matters. It is part of the AgentFund macro suite alongside CPI, jobs, housing, and energy data, making it ideal for multi-indicator economic dashboards.

## Known failure modes

- Data not yet released for current period returns stale or previous period data
- Service unavailable returns HTTP 402 or 5xx if payment fails
- Empty or malformed body triggers schema validation error
- Network timeout if upstream economic data source is delayed
