## 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-ecb-str-deposit-facility-spread-intelligence-d630ec3d

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest evidence-backed analysis of the ECB €STR versus Deposit Facility Rate spread, including the quality confidence rating and policy context?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need evidence-cited, quality-assessed analysis of the ECB €STR to Deposit Facility Rate spread specifically — not raw rate data. It is preferable over generic financial data APIs when you need policy context, confidence scoring, source provenance, and signed attestation alongside the spread figure. Ideal for AI agents requiring auditable macro intelligence for EUR-denominated investment, policy, or procurement decisions.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance — 402 Payment Required returned
- Rate or spread data temporarily unavailable — dataStatus field may reflect incomplete coverage
- Source freshness issues — limitations array will explicitly note stale or missing evidence
- Invalid or missing request parameters — 400 Bad Request
- Service downtime or upstream data provider failure — 503 or timeout

## How this service works

€STR Deposit Facility Spread from official ECB statistics, normalized for autonomous-agent use with explicit source timing, evidence and limitations. Purpose: measure the spread between €STR and the ECB deposit facility rate as an overnight transmission signal 24-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: a quality block with status (e.g. 'strong') and confidence level (e.g. 'high'); an analysis block with market family classification, intents, and a plain-language summary of the spread findings; an evidence block listing relevant assets (EUR), policy stance, and actual live sources; metadata including serviceId, dataStatus, schemaVersion, generatedAt timestamp, disclaimer, and a signed provenance statement from edge-agents.ai; and a limitations array noting any coverage or freshness caveats.
