## 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-china-fdi-net-inflows-intelligence-c8d43112
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest evidence-backed intelligence report on China FDI net inflows — I need the confidence rating, key findings, and any noted contradictions or data limitations for our board strategy session.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, provenance-signed macro intelligence specifically on China foreign direct investment net inflows, with confidence scoring and contradiction awareness built in — particularly when decisions require traceability of sources. Prefer over generic financial data APIs when bounded decision support with disclaimers and verification matters, such as for board briefings, autonomous agent risk loops, or regulated strategy processes.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed — endpoint requires $0.01 USDC via x402 protocol before data is released
- Data status may be 'incomplete' if source freshness is insufficient at time of call
- Evidence assets array may be empty if live sources are unavailable at generation time
- Rate limiting or network timeout on the pay.edge-agents.ai host
- Stale or future-dated generatedAt timestamp if underlying data pipeline 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

Returns a JSON object containing: a quality block with status and confidence level, an analysis block with family classification, intent tags, and a plain-language summary of China FDI net inflows findings, an evidence block listing source assets and policy, provenance with issuer and signature, generatedAt timestamp, schemaVersion, dataStatus, and a disclaimer clarifying this is market research not investment advice. Limitations on source freshness and coverage are included inline.
