## 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 crypto-investment-plays-4912a8fd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Give me today's best crypto investment plays — I want specific entry and exit price targets for both DeFi yield positions and spot buys, each with a numeric risk score so I can decide what fits my risk tolerance.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need actionable, execution-ready crypto investment plays with quantified numeric risk scores rather than qualitative labels — especially when combining DeFi yield and spot buy strategies in a single output. Prefer this over raw market data endpoints (like crypto.market-analyzer alone) when you want the full execution-plan layer with entry/exit strategies already synthesized. Best for agents that need to present investment decisions to users without doing their own strategy generation.

## Known failure modes

- Vague or empty prompt may return generic recommendations lacking specific entry/exit levels
- Market data unavailability from upstream crypto.market-analyzer may degrade play quality
- Highly volatile market conditions may cause risk scores to be stale by execution time
- Prompt referencing obscure tokens with no oracle data may yield incomplete plays
- Upstream oracle.historical-analysis timeout may delay or fail the response

## How this service works

Risk-scored investment plays with concrete entry/exit strategies, spanning DeFi yield positions to spot buys — each play carries a numeric risk score, not a qualitative label. Settlement proof: ProofOfSettledOutcome (kind 30120, data/proof_settled_outcomes.jsonl). Consumes crypto.market-analyzer + oracle.historical-analysis; the execution-plan layer above the data layer.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a summary string, an array of findings (individual investment plays with DeFi yield positions or spot buy details, numeric risk scores, entry prices, and exit strategies), and an array of recommendations prioritizing the most actionable opportunities.
