## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability degenscan-intel-event-explainer-cbf9b433
```

Example prompt: Can you give me a plain-English explanation of what event evt_20240315_btc_cpi actually means for the market and why it matters?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific event ID (e.g. from the events_since feed or a market snapshot) and need a plain-English explanation of what that event means and why it matters. Prefer this over broader market snapshot or pre-trade briefing endpoints when you already know the event ID and need focused, human-readable rationale for a single event rather than a full asset or market-wide overview.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown event_id returns 404 not found
- Expired or too-old event_id may return no content
- Missing event_id path parameter returns 400 bad request
- Payment not provided or insufficient triggers HTTP 402 with x402 payment details
- Rate limiting may cause 429 responses under high call volume

## How this service works

## Output
