Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 econsignalpulse-credit-stress-api-ddfaa976
```

Example prompt: Pull the sovereign credit stress report for Turkey — I need the CDS spreads, current IMF program status, World Bank debt ratios, and credit ratings so I can evaluate it for our EM bond portfolio.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a consolidated sovereign credit stress view combining official multilateral data (World Bank, IMF) with market signals (CDS spreads, ratings) and program-enrollment status. Ideal for EM bond analysis, credit default swap pricing, political risk insurance underwriting, or treasury exposure assessment where a single multi-source sovereign stress score is more efficient than querying each data source separately.

## Known failure modes

- Country code not recognized or unsupported — returns 404 or empty result
- CDS spread data unavailable for frontier markets with low liquidity — partial response
- IMF program status stale if not recently updated — may reflect outdated enrollment
- Upstream World Bank or IMF data feed delay causing stale projections
- Payment not processed correctly via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limit exceeded — returns 429 Too Many Requests

## How this service works

Sovereign credit and banking-system stress — World Bank debt data, IMF projections, CDS spreads, ratings and IMF-program status. For EM-bond, credit-insurance and treasury agents.

## Output

A structured data response containing sovereign credit and banking-system stress indicators for the requested country: World Bank external and domestic debt metrics, IMF forward projections, 5-year CDS spread levels, credit agency ratings (S&P, Moody's, Fitch), and whether the country is currently enrolled in an IMF program, along with a composite stress signal.
