## 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-eurostat-ons-euro-area-hicp-inflation-intelligence-0d26a5b8
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Euro Area HICP annual inflation report from Eurostat and ONS — I need the current rate, policy signal, and a summary of findings with confidence level.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, evidence-backed, structured summary of Euro Area HICP annual inflation drawn directly from live Eurostat and ONS publications, with explicit quality signals, policy stance context, and signed provenance — especially for macro intelligence workflows, EUR-exposed portfolio analysis, or ECB policy monitoring where source attribution and confidence scoring matter.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream Eurostat or ONS report not yet published for the current period — may return stale or incomplete data
- Network or payment gateway failure returning HTTP 402 if payment is not correctly attached
- Data status flagged as incomplete if source freshness cannot be confirmed
- Low confidence rating returned when underlying evidence is sparse or conflicting

## 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

A structured JSON object containing: HICP annual inflation analysis summary, quality status and confidence rating, affected assets (EUR), mixed/hawkish/dovish policy signal, data provenance (issuer URL, signed flag), generation timestamp, schema version, and a disclaimer clarifying this is impersonal market research rather than investment advice. Limitations on coverage and source freshness are explicitly stated.
