Example prompt: Can you grab me a yield risk snapshot for USDC on Base right now — I want to understand the current risk level before I allocate funds to any yield strategy?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent or user needs a current, point-in-time assessment of the risk profile of USDC yield opportunities on the Base network, and is willing to pay $0.105 USDC per report. Prefer this over manual research when automated, structured risk data is needed for decision-making around stablecoin yield allocation.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid request format — missing or malformed POST body (400)
- Job creation failure — backend error creating the analysis job (500)
