## 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 btc-cftc-leveraged-fund-positioning-edge-agents-db6d63ac
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest CFTC leveraged fund positioning for Bitcoin from Edge Agents — I want to know whether large speculators are net long or short on CME, with confidence level and source provenance.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need CFTC-sourced, evidence-backed Bitcoin leveraged fund positioning with explicit provenance and confidence scoring — particularly for compliance-sensitive or board-level reporting contexts where auditability matters. Prefer it over generic crypto data APIs when you need signed, point-in-time COT data with contradiction flagging rather than raw price or volume feeds.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received — endpoint returns HTTP 402 if USDC payment via x402 protocol is missing or invalid
- Stale data — CFTC COT reports are published weekly; positioning may lag real-time market moves
- Data unavailable — report may return a 'dataStatus' other than 'complete' if the source report has not yet been published
- Schema mismatch — clients expecting schema version <2.0 may need to handle updated field names
- Network timeout — paid micro-transaction services may occasionally time out under load

## 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).

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: a quality assessment (status and confidence level), an analysis summary with identified intents (leverage, positioning, open interest), evidence metadata (assets covered, policy, data sources), a signed provenance record from edge-agents.ai, generation timestamp, schema version, a general disclaimer, and a list of coverage limitations. Data reflects the actual live CFTC report rather than inferred values.
