## 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-counterfactual-invalidation-monitor-ea01e61c
```

Example prompt: Run the counterfactual invalidation monitor for me — I want to know if there's strong evidence right now that undermines the thesis that rising interest rates will continue to suppress equity valuations across cross-market conditions.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need evidence-backed, signed analysis specifically testing whether a counterfactual scenario or market thesis has been falsified by current cross-market data — particularly when the agent requires provenance-verified, non-inferred intelligence for high-stakes macro, investment, or policy decisions rather than generic market data lookups.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient market evidence available returns a report with limited or empty evidence assets array
- Stale data may be flagged in the limitations field if source freshness is below threshold
- Malformed or missing required parameters return a 400-level error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response blocking report delivery
- Service unavailability returns 5xx with no report body

## 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 signed JSON report including an invalidation quality status (e.g. 'strong'), confidence level ('high'/'medium'/'low'), a cross-market analysis summary, a list of evidence assets and sources, policy stance ('mixed'/'hawkish'/'dovish'), data completeness status, coverage limitations, and provenance metadata with issuer signature and generation timestamp.
