## 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 apex-runner-apex-evolution-insight-institutional-signal-8d06eb9b
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest APEX Evolution Insight institutional signal and tell me whether live capital is deployed, what the DCA gate status is, and how many trades are backing the signal right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive institutional-grade signal combining evolutionary algorithm outputs, live grid trading status across Kraken/Coinbase/Hyperliquid, and DCA gate intelligence in a single call. Prefer over simpler micro-signals (Regime, FG, Position Exposure) when you need the full institutional picture including capital deployment status and signal provenance verification.

## Known failure modes

- 402 Payment Required if $35 USDC not provided via x402 protocol
- Signal data may be stale if evolution cycle has not recently completed
- Incomplete grid status if one or more exchanges (Kraken, Coinbase, Hyperliquid) is unreachable
- Empty or null fields if live capital is not deployed and signal generation is paused
