## 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-uk-retail-sales-volume-intelligence-7108cc5e
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest evidence-backed UK retail sales volume report from Edge Agents — I need the quality status, confidence rating, and a summary of what Eurostat and ONS are currently showing for the UK retail sector.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need an evidence-backed, officially sourced summary of UK retail sales volume — specifically aggregating Eurostat and ONS data — rather than raw data downloads or unverified commentary. It is especially valuable when provenance, confidence scoring, and a signed report are required, such as for investor briefs, government decision support, or compliance-grade market intelligence. At $0.01 per call it is cost-effective for frequent polling or agent pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed – endpoint returns 402 if the $0.01 USDC x402 payment is not processed
- Data temporarily unavailable – if source feeds from Eurostat or ONS are not current, the report may note reduced freshness
- Incomplete evidence – report explicitly states coverage gaps or unavailable sources in every paid response
- Malformed request – unclear or missing parameters may result in an error 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

A structured JSON report containing: a quality status and confidence rating for the underlying data, a cross-market analysis summary with detected intents, evidence metadata including relevant assets and policy stance, data provenance (signed, issuer-verified), generation timestamp, schema version, and a disclaimer clarifying the report is general market research rather than investment advice.
