## 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-inflation-comparison-9550ba02
```

Example prompt: Give me a fresh global consumer price inflation comparison across major economies — I need the evidence summary, confidence level, and source provenance so I can present it to the CFO today.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a cross-country inflation comparison with explicit provenance, confidence scoring, and contradiction flagging — especially for high-stakes business decisions (board presentations, CFO briefings, strategy sessions) or autonomous agent workflows that require auditable macro evidence rather than raw data feeds. Prefer this over generic economic data APIs when source attribution and bounded confidence levels are required, or when you need a synthesis layer rather than raw CPI numbers.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or USDC authorization failed — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- Data temporarily unavailable for certain regions — coverage gaps noted in limitations field
- Stale or incomplete source data — reflected in dataStatus field and limitations array
- Malformed request parameters — may return 400 with schema validation error
- Network timeout if upstream macro data sources are slow to respond

## 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

A structured JSON report containing: a quality block (status and confidence level), an analysis block (macro family classification, relevant intents, and a human-readable summary of global CPI findings), an evidence block (source assets, point-in-time policy, and sourcing notes), provenance metadata (issuer URL and signature status), data completeness status, generation timestamp, schema version, and a disclaimer clarifying this is market research rather than investment advice.
