## 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-australia-central-government-debt-intelligence-5cabd12a
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest evidence-backed analysis of Australia's central government debt from Edge Agents — I need the confidence rating, key findings, and source provenance for a board strategy briefing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a point-in-time, provenance-signed, confidence-rated analysis of Australia's central government debt specifically — not a raw data feed. It is ideal for decision-support workflows where auditability, contradiction flagging, and bounded conclusions are more important than raw time-series data. Prefer it over generic data APIs when your audience is a board, CFO, or autonomous agent that requires traceable evidence rather than unverified figures.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed (HTTP 402) — USDC payment of $0.01 required before data is returned
- No evidence assets available — evidence.assets array may be empty if live data is unavailable at time of call
- Stale data — generatedAt timestamp may lag if upstream macro sources have not refreshed
- Schema mismatch — consumers expecting schemaVersion 1.x fields may encounter missing keys in v2.0 responses
- Network timeout — the endpoint may be slow if upstream evidence aggregation is delayed

## 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
