## 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 conflictpulse-118a00b2
```

Example prompt: What's the current conflict level in Sudan — is it escalating or easing — and can you show me the latest conflict headlines driving that signal?

## When to prefer this

Choose ConflictPulse when you need a fast, real-time, per-country conflict and instability signal based on global news volume rather than manually curated datasets or slow-updating indices. It is especially well-suited for AI agents doing geopolitical screening, travel safety checks, supply chain risk monitoring, or macro research where a live media-attention proxy updated daily is more useful than annual risk scores. Prefer it over static risk databases when recency and trend direction matter. It is not a casualty database or a verified-event feed.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled country name may return no results or a 400-level error
- GDELT data pipeline delays may cause stale or incomplete signals during ingestion outages
- Very small or rarely-covered countries may have insufficient news volume for reliable signals
- Missing or malformed 'country' query parameter returns an error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the call via x402

## How this service works

Per-country conflict / instability signal from GDELT (?country=)

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: a categorical conflict level (LOW, ELEVATED, or HIGH), a trend direction (escalating, steady, or easing) with a 7-day percentage change versus the prior period, an intensity score as a share of the 30-day peak, the country name, the number of data points, and a list of recent conflict-related news headlines with URLs, dates, and source domains. The source is GDELT 2.0 global news monitoring and the signal is a media-attention proxy, not a verified casualty count.
