## 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-real-interest-rate-comparison-481bedcc
```

Example prompt: Pull me an evidence-backed comparison of real interest rates across major economies right now — I need to see which countries have the highest and lowest inflation-adjusted rates, with the confidence level and source provenance included.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a cross-country, evidence-cited comparison of real (inflation-adjusted) interest rates with explicit provenance and confidence scoring, particularly for executive briefings, investment committee inputs, or autonomous agent workflows that require auditable macro data. Prefer it over raw data feeds when you need contradictions surfaced and sources verified rather than raw central bank numbers alone.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — returns 402 Payment Required
- Data freshness lag — sources may not reflect intraday central bank announcements
- Low-confidence output when underlying evidence is sparse or contradictory, flagged in quality.status
- Empty evidence assets array if no fresh macro sources are available at call time
- Service unavailable during maintenance — HTTP 503

## 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 structured JSON report containing a quality status and confidence level, a macro analysis summary with identified intents and evidence family classification, a list of evidence assets with sourcing policy and provenance (issuer URL, signed flag), a data completeness status, schema version, generation timestamp, and a disclaimer clarifying the report is general market research rather than investment advice. Coverage gaps and source freshness limitations are explicitly stated within the report.
