## 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-gross-capital-formation-intelligence-1a84e65b
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest evidence-backed analysis of China's gross capital formation from Edge Agents — I need the confidence rating, any contradictions flagged, and full provenance so I can present it to the board.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, evidence-backed, provenance-signed macro intelligence report specifically on China's gross capital formation — particularly when decision-making requires confidence scoring, contradiction flagging, and source traceability rather than raw data feeds or unstructured commentary. Prefer this over generic LLM macro summaries when auditability and bounded decision support are required.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received – returns HTTP 402 if USDC payment is missing or insufficient
- Invalid request parameters – malformed input object may result in a 400 error
- Data unavailable – report may note incomplete or stale source coverage in the limitations field
- Low confidence result – analysis may return 'confidence: low' if macro evidence is sparse or contradictory
- Service downtime – edge-agents.ai infrastructure outage returns 5xx

## How this service works

Machine services are purchasable per request over x402 on 5 settlement rails (Base/USDC, XRPL/RLUSD, Solana/USDC, Arbitrum/USDC and Polygon/USDC).
