# Edge Agents – Australia Foreign Exchange Reserves (Months of Import Cover)

> Edge Agents – Australia Foreign Exchange Reserves (Months of Import Cover) is a paid API for AI agents from pay.edge-agents.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns evidence-backed decision intelligence on Australia's foreign exchange reserve buffer measured in months of import cover, with provenance and confidence scoring.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-foreign-exchange-reserves-months-of-import-cover-34d3c783
```

Example prompt: Pull me the latest Edge Agents decision intelligence report on Australia's foreign exchange reserves — specifically how many months of import cover the reserves provide — and include the confidence rating and any contradictions in the evidence.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, provenance-signed, evidence-bounded view of Australia's FX reserve adequacy (months of import cover) rather than raw central bank data or unverified news summaries. It is particularly useful for autonomous agents that need machine-readable confidence scores, contradiction flags, and signed provenance for audit trails, and for business decision-makers who require a bounded, disclaimer-aware output rather than an open-ended data feed.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received (HTTP 402) — endpoint requires $0.01 USDC x402 payment before data is returned
- Stale or unavailable source data — dataStatus field may indicate incomplete coverage
- Low confidence result — quality.confidence may return 'low' when underlying evidence is sparse
- Network timeout — the live data fetch from primary sources may occasionally exceed response SLA
- Schema mismatch — clients expecting schema version 1.x may need to handle schemaVersion 2.0 response structure

## How this service works

Latest available Australia reserve buffer plus a comparable annual history from the World Bank World Development Indicators API, with source, lag and revision caveats. Purpose: Give an autonomous agent a normalized, directly sourced Australia reserve buffer series without forcing it to understand World Bank indicator codes or response shapes. 24-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

A JSON object containing a quality block (status and confidence), an analysis block (family, intents, narrative summary), an evidence block (assets, policy, sources), provenance (issuer URL, signed flag), the serviceId, dataStatus, generatedAt timestamp, schemaVersion, limitations list, and a standard disclaimer that results are general market research and not investment advice.
