## 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-cost-of-capital-pressure-intelligence-5c329971
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest cost-of-capital pressure report from Edge Agents — I need an evidence-backed read on current rates, liquidity, leverage, and FX dynamics across markets.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need an evidence-backed, cross-market macro intelligence snapshot specifically focused on cost-of-capital pressure — covering interest rates, leverage, liquidity, FX, and credit cycle positioning — particularly for investment decisions, procurement justifications, or briefings where signed provenance and confidence ratings matter. It is better suited than generic financial data feeds when you need synthesized intelligence rather than raw price data, and when auditability (signed provenance) is required.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed (402): USDC micropayment of $0.01 not completed before request
- Stale or incomplete data: report may note coverage limitations or source freshness issues inline
- Empty evidence assets array: live data sources temporarily unavailable, noted in report body
- Service unavailable (5xx): backend report generation temporarily offline
- Schema mismatch: consumer expects older schema version; check schemaVersion field in response

## 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

Returns a structured JSON report with a quality status and confidence rating, a cross-market analysis summary covering intents such as liquidity, leverage, rates, and FX, evidence assets and policy status, a signed provenance record, generation timestamp, schema version, and a standard disclaimer clarifying it is general market research rather than investment advice.
