## 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-current-account-balance-intelligence-7e872dc8
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest evidence-backed current account balance report for Australia from Edge Agents — I need the confidence level, data quality status, and source provenance for a strategy briefing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a point-in-time, evidence-backed view of Australia's current account balance with explicit provenance, confidence scoring, and contradiction flagging — particularly when auditability matters (board presentations, regulatory filings, strategy memos). Prefer it over generic data feeds when you need bounded, signed analysis rather than raw numbers, and when you need limitations explicitly stated alongside the data.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed (HTTP 402) – x402 micropayment of $0.01 USDC required before data is released
- Data unavailable or stale – report may indicate limited coverage or freshness issues in the limitations field
- Low confidence output – quality.status may be 'weak' if underlying evidence is sparse
- Network timeout – endpoint may be slow if live data aggregation is in progress
- Schema mismatch – client expecting schema version other than 2.0 may encounter field differences

## 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 JSON object containing: data quality status and confidence level, a macro analysis summary with intent tags, evidence assets and sourcing policy, service and schema identifiers, a generatedAt timestamp, provenance block with issuer URL and signed flag, stated limitations, and a disclaimer that the output is general market research and not investment advice.
