## 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-global-current-account-balance-comparison-33ad648e
```

Example prompt: Pull me a current account balance comparison across major economies — I need to see which countries are running the biggest surpluses and deficits right now, with the evidence sourced and signed so I can use it in a board briefing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a provenance-signed, evidence-bounded comparison of current account balances across multiple countries simultaneously, especially for board-level or executive use cases where auditability and contradiction disclosure matter. Prefer it over generic data APIs when you need structured macro intelligence with explicit confidence scoring and sourcing policy, not raw statistical downloads.

## Known failure modes

- No data available for requested country or time period — evidence assets array may be empty
- Source freshness limitations noted in report when underlying data is stale
- Low-confidence findings flagged explicitly in quality.confidence field
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 before report is delivered
- Schema validation errors if malformed query parameters are sent

## How this service works

Premium comparison of the latest available current account balance across 30 major economies and financial centres using one normalized World Bank indicator definition. Purpose: Rank and compare major economies on current account balance while exposing observation-year differences and missing coverage rather than pretending all countries are synchronized. 24-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

A structured JSON report containing a macro analysis summary, cross-country current account balance comparison, evidence assets with sourcing policy, confidence and quality status, provenance signature from edge-agents.ai, generation timestamp, schema version, and explicit limitations on coverage and source freshness. Includes a disclaimer that the output is market research, not investment advice.
