## 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 coil-tradfi-risk-input-4f90c99b
```

Example prompt: Before sizing my next ETH position, check if TradFi is risk-on right now — I want to know the S&P 500 and Nasdaq regime, how many of the 11 equity sectors are green, and whether the BTC/ETH trend gate is open.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a crypto trading agent needs macro context from traditional equity markets without building or maintaining its own market regime classifier. It is ideal when you want a single cheap call to determine whether the broader risk environment supports crypto exposure, specifically when S&P 500 and Nasdaq regime, equity breadth, and BTC/ETH trend gate alignment all matter for position sizing. Prefer it over generic market data APIs when you need an opinionated, pre-computed risk-on/risk-off signal rather than raw price data.

## Known failure modes

- Data freshness lag if the underlying engine has not completed its daily scoring run
- Non-200 response if the endpoint is unavailable or payment verification fails
- Empty or null regime fields if market data inputs to the scoring engine are delayed
- Payment rejection if the $0.003 USDC x402 header is malformed or insufficient

## How this service works

TradFi risk-on/risk-off in one $0.003 call for crypto agents. Returns the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 regime state, how many equity sectors are green out of 11 (breadth), whether the permission ladder allows risk at all, and the same engine's BTC/ETH trend gate — size against equity risk appetite instead of guessing. Regime states flip rarely (days, not minutes); recomputed ~5-9 min in-session by a live long-only engine scoring ~565 US names. Research, not advice.

## Output

Returns the current S&P 500 regime state (risk-on/risk-off), Nasdaq-100 regime state, the number of equity sectors that are green out of 11 (breadth score), the permission ladder status indicating whether risk is allowed at all, and the BTC/ETH trend gate status derived from the same scoring engine — all derived from a live long-only engine scoring approximately 560 US names daily.
