## 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 defi-shield-hazel-vercel-app-bf839e10 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current market regime on Base — is it risk-on, risk-off, neutral, volatile, or illiquid — and should I be trading aggressively right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a high-level macro regime classification for DeFi trading decisions on Base, especially when you want bundled signals (gas, breadth, volatility, token prices) alongside a single actionable label and human-readable recommendations. Prefer over raw price APIs when you want opinionated regime categorization rather than raw data.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or invalid chain identifier returns an error
- External price feed unavailability may degrade confidence or prevent regime classification
- Low data coverage may yield NEUTRAL with low confidence rather than a decisive regime
- Payment failure (x402) blocks the request before processing

## Output

Returns the current market regime label (RISK_ON, RISK_OFF, NEUTRAL, VOLATILE, or ILLIQUID) for the specified chain, along with token prices and 24h changes, breadth/volatility/gas signals, a confidence score (0-1), a scan timestamp, and 2-3 plain-English trading recommendations.
