## 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-unemployment-intelligence-214ea594
```

Example prompt: Pull me the latest evidence-backed analysis on China's unemployment situation — I need confidence levels, source provenance, and any known data limitations so I can include it in a board briefing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, evidence-backed, provenance-signed intelligence report specifically on China's unemployment and labour market conditions. Prefer it over raw data APIs when you need confidence ratings, contradiction flags, and traceable sources suitable for executive or board-level decision-making. It is especially useful for autonomous agents that need bounded, verifiable macro intelligence rather than raw statistics.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — 402 response blocking access
- Stale or unavailable source data — reported via limitations array in response
- No evidence assets available — evidence.assets returns empty array
- Service temporarily unavailable — network or upstream data provider outage
- Invalid or missing request parameters — returns error due to malformed schema input
