## 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

Example prompt: Pull the latest Edge Agents CFTC report on institutional versus leveraged fund divergence for Bitcoin — I want to see whether asset managers and hedge funds are moving in opposite directions on CME futures, with confidence level and provenance.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a point-in-time, evidence-backed signal specifically about the divergence between CME Bitcoin institutional (asset manager) and leveraged fund (hedge fund) positioning from CFTC Commitments of Traders data. It is preferable to general market data feeds when you need provenance, contradiction disclosure, and a confidence score rather than raw price or volume data. Ideal for decision-support workflows where auditability and sourcing matter — e.g. board briefings, autonomous agent macro pipelines, or risk committees.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or invalid — endpoint returns HTTP 402 requiring USDC payment via x402 protocol
- CFTC source data not yet published for the current reporting period — response may indicate incomplete or stale data
- Low confidence or weak quality status when positioning data is ambiguous or contradictory
- Network timeout if upstream CFTC data source is unavailable
- Malformed request returns error if required parameters are missing

## How this service works

Edge Agents provides evidence-backed macro, market and decision intelligence for AI agents, individual leaders and investors, businesses and government teams requiring consulting, procurement and decision support. Machine services are purchasable per request over x402 on 5 settlement rails (Base/USDC, XRPL/RLUSD, Solana/USDC, Arbitrum/USDC and Polygon/USDC).
