## 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 edge-agents-ai-canada-macro-cpi-pulse-e696cc66
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Canada CPI Pulse report — I want the evidence-backed inflation summary, confidence level, and current policy stance for Canada right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a concise, evidence-backed CPI and inflation intelligence brief specifically for Canada, with confidence scoring and policy context, especially in agentic workflows where you need machine-readable macro signals rather than raw statistical data. Prefer it over generic data feeds when you need structured intent signals, quality metadata, and provenance assurances in a single low-cost per-request call payable via stablecoin rails.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not settled — x402 payment required before data is returned
- Report data not yet available for the current period — dataStatus may return incomplete
- Low confidence output — model may flag confidence as 'low' if source data is sparse or conflicting
- Network timeout on settlement rail — retry on alternate rail (Base/USDC, XRPL/RLUSD, Solana/USDC, Arbitrum/USDC, Polygon/USDC)
- Schema mismatch if caller expects v1 schema but endpoint returns schemaVersion 2.0

## How this service works

Direct Statistics Canada all-items Consumer Price Index level with monthly and year-over-year change, sourced from the official WDS API. Purpose: Answer whether Canadian consumer-price inflation is accelerating, cooling or stable using direct Statistics Canada evidence. 1-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a data quality status and confidence level, an analysis block with macro family classification, inflation intent signals, and a narrative summary, an evidence block with relevant asset coverage and mixed/hawkish/dovish policy stance, provenance metadata including issuer identity and signing status, a generatedAt timestamp, schema version, and a standard disclaimer that the output is general market research and not investment advice.
