## 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 datasig-supplier-signal-supply-chain-action-intelligence-7879495f
```

Example prompt: What supply chain action signal is DataSig showing for the furniture sector right now — do I need to qualify a backup supplier or is there something else I should be doing?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs an actionable, real-time supply chain directive for a specific industry sector — especially when reacting to tariff changes, port congestion, blank sailing events, or supplier distress. Prefer it over generic news or trade data APIs when you need a prescriptive signal (an action verb, not raw data). It is purpose-built for agent-native workflows with per-call USDC micropayments via x402, requiring no API key setup.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid 'sector' query parameter returns a 400 or validation error
- Payment not settled via x402 micropayment results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Unknown or unsupported sector keyword may return a null signal or empty response
- Service unavailable or upstream data feed outage returns a 5xx error
- Confidence field may be null if signal strength cannot be quantified

## How this service works

DataSig delivers live supply chain action intelligence to AI agents via x402 micropayments. Tariff changes, port congestion, blank sailing risk, supplier distress. Pay per call in USDC on Base. No API key.

## Output

A JSON object containing the queried sector name, an action signal string (e.g. 'QUALIFY_BACKUP_SUPPLIER') indicating what procurement or logistics action the agent should take, and an optional confidence value for that signal.
