## 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-futures-basis-monitor-edge-agents-e6d6b8ce
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest BTC futures basis monitor report from Edge Agents — I want to see the current leverage and open-interest signals, the quality confidence level, and any noted limitations or contradictions in the evidence.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a signed, provenance-backed, point-in-time analysis of BTC futures basis conditions — particularly when decision accountability matters (board reporting, autonomous agent gating, risk compliance). It is preferable over raw data feeds when you need bounded narrative analysis with contradictions surfaced and limitations explicitly stated, rather than raw tick data or generic crypto price APIs. Best suited for structured decision workflows where auditability and confidence scoring are required.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- Live data temporarily unavailable — report may indicate incomplete data status with stated coverage gaps
- Network timeout if upstream market data sources are delayed
- Malformed request if required parameters are missing — returns schema validation error
- Stale data window — generatedAt timestamp may reveal report lag if markets are moving rapidly

## How this service works

Bitcoin perpetual basis, funding and open-interest context from the existing Binance Futures and OKX evidence pipeline. Purpose: Expose a compact Bitcoin futures basis and leverage sensor using exchange-native evidence already collected by Edge Agents. 5-minute freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON report containing: a quality object with status and confidence level, an analysis object with asset family, intents (e.g. leverage, evidence, open-interest) and a narrative summary, an evidence object describing covered assets and sourcing policy, a generatedAt timestamp, schemaVersion, provenance block with issuer URL and signing status, data completion status, stated limitations, and a regulatory disclaimer clarifying this is market research not investment advice.
