## 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 ai-hedge-fund-market-regime-detection-api-e62d5be9
```

Example prompt: What is the current market regime for MES according to the AI Hedge Fund research API — is it trending up, trending down, or something else?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call regime signal for futures instruments (especially MES) without needing full broker integration or execution capabilities. Ideal for agents that condition trading strategies or research summaries on current market regime, and where micropayment-per-call via x402 is acceptable. Not suitable if you need execution, order routing, or historical regime time-series.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or invalid — HTTP 402 returned requiring x402 USDC payment
- Unknown or unsupported symbol — may return empty or error response
- Stale regime data if market data feed is delayed
- Malformed properties parameter — input schema is loosely defined and may not validate tightly
- Service unavailable or rate-limited — no SLA guarantees visible from metadata

## How this service works

Read-only x402 research APIs. No trading, broker, or execution is exposed.

## Output

A JSON object containing a 'regime' string label (e.g. 'trending_up') and the 'symbol' it applies to (e.g. 'MES'), indicating the current classified market state for that futures instrument.
