## 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 agentutility-market-news-sentiment-8332861f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current market news sentiment? Give me the overall sentiment label, score, and how confident you are in that reading.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call sentiment reading on market news without managing a subscription or ML pipeline. Ideal for agents that need to make trading decisions, generate market summaries, or filter news by tone. Prefer over free alternatives when USDC micropayments are already integrated and you need a reliable confidence score alongside the sentiment label.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient or ambiguous input news content may yield low confidence scores
- Payment failure via x402 if wallet balance is insufficient or USDC not available on Base
- Rate limiting or timeout if the underlying news data source is unavailable
- Neutral or borderline sentiment may produce low overall_score with ambiguous label
