## 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 alpha-palmvox-com-44be27d3
```

Example prompt: What's the current crypto market risk assessment — is the market risk-on or risk-off, what's the fear/greed score, and how large should my positions be right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a portfolio management or trading agent needs a full risk context snapshot before executing trades — combining fear/greed, volatility, bias, and position sizing in a single call. Prefer over the cheaper /api/fear-greed endpoint when you need the full risk picture including position sizing recommendations, not just sentiment.

## Known failure modes

- Service temporarily unavailable — 5xx error if the upstream data provider is down
- Payment required — 402 if x402 micropayment not included or insufficient
- Stale data — lastUpdated timestamp may lag if market data feed is delayed
- Rate limiting — repeated calls in short succession may be throttled

## How this service works

## Output
