## 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-unemployment-pulse-6a5c54a5
```

Example prompt: Give me the latest evidence-backed unemployment pulse report for Canada — I need the current labour market summary, policy signal, and confidence level to inform a macro briefing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, evidence-grounded macro intelligence report specifically on Canada's unemployment and labour market conditions — particularly when citation quality, policy signal clarity, and confidence scoring matter. Prefer this over generic LLM-generated summaries when provenance and source grounding are required, or when downstream decisions (investment, procurement, government policy) demand auditable evidence rather than inferred analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not settled — 402 response if x402 payment not completed before request
- Stale or incomplete data — report may note coverage gaps or source freshness limitations in the paid output
- Service unavailable — upstream data sources temporarily inaccessible
- Invalid payment rail — unsupported settlement currency or blockchain network

## How this service works

Direct Statistics Canada national unemployment rate with one and three-month percentage-point change, sourced from the official WDS API. Purpose: Detect deterioration or improvement in the Canadian labour market using direct Statistics Canada evidence. 1-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

A structured JSON report containing: a quality assessment (status and confidence level), a macro analysis summary with intent tags (e.g. evidence, labour), evidence metadata including assets covered (CAN), policy stance (e.g. mixed), and data sources, plus provenance (issuer URL, signed flag), generation timestamp, schema version, and a disclaimer clarifying it is general market research, not investment advice.
