## 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-germany-gross-capital-formation-intelligence-a9a52b76
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest evidence-backed analysis on Germany's gross capital formation — I need the confidence rating, any contradictions flagged, and the provenance so I can share it with our investment committee.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need signed, provenance-tracked macro intelligence specifically on Germany's gross capital formation with explicit confidence ratings and contradiction flagging — rather than raw data feeds, generic economic APIs, or un-sourced market summaries. Particularly suitable for AI agents or business leaders requiring auditable, bounded decisions backed by verifiable evidence rather than inferred or hallucinated analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed — 402 response if USDC payment via x402 protocol fails or is insufficient
- Data unavailable — evidence assets array may be empty if fresh data cannot be sourced at call time
- Stale data — generatedAt timestamp may lag real-time events; limitations field will note coverage gaps
- Schema mismatch — malformed request properties may return error or empty analysis
- Service downtime — endpoint may be temporarily unavailable returning 5xx

## How this service works

Latest available Germany gross capital formation plus a comparable annual history from the World Bank World Development Indicators API, with source, lag and revision caveats. Purpose: Give an autonomous agent a normalized, directly sourced Germany gross capital formation series without forcing it to understand World Bank indicator codes or response shapes. 24-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a quality assessment with status and confidence level, a macro analysis summary for Germany gross capital formation, an evidence block with source assets and policy timestamp, signed provenance from edge-agents.ai, a generatedAt timestamp, schema version, data status, and a disclaimer noting general market research scope rather than investment advice. Limitations on coverage and source freshness are stated inline.
