## 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 ecb-str-euro-short-term-rate-intelligence-edge-agents-ai-bc528eae
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest ECB Euro Short-Term Rate (€STR) intelligence report from Edge Agents — I need the policy stance, liquidity signals, and confidence rating for my EUR macro research.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a signed, evidence-backed, structured intelligence report on the ECB's €STR overnight rate — especially when source provenance, confidence scoring, and policy intent classification matter. Prefer this over raw ECB data feeds when your use case requires curated analysis with limitations disclosed, a machine-readable quality signal, and cryptographic provenance. Best suited for AI agent workflows, institutional research pipelines, or decision-support systems operating in EUR money markets or ECB monetary policy contexts.

## Known failure modes

- 402 Payment Required if USDC payment is not attached — must pay $0.01 USDC per call via x402 protocol
- Source data unavailability: ECB may not have published latest €STR, report will note coverage gaps in limitations field
- Stale data: if ECB has not updated, the generatedAt timestamp may reflect a prior reporting period
- Malformed payment or unsupported wallet: payment facilitation failure returns an authorization error
- Rate-limited or service overload: may return 429 or 503 for excessive concurrent requests

## How this service works

Edge Agents provides evidence-backed macro, market and decision intelligence for AI agents, individual leaders and investors, businesses and government teams requiring consulting, procurement and decision support. Machine services are purchasable per request over x402 on 5 settlement rails (Base/USDC, XRPL/RLUSD, Solana/USDC, Arbitrum/USDC and Polygon/USDC).

## Output
