## 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-unemployment-comparison-2fdeceac
```

Example prompt: Can you pull Edge Agents' global unemployment comparison report so I can see how labour markets stack up across major economies right now, with sources and confidence levels?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need cross-country unemployment benchmarking with explicit source provenance and confidence scoring — especially for executive briefings, autonomous agent decision contexts, or macro risk workflows where auditability and contradiction flagging matter more than raw data speed. Prefer over generic data APIs when evidence quality, signed provenance, and bounded decision support are required.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed or USDC balance insufficient — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or missing required parameters — returns schema validation error
- Data temporarily unavailable for requested scope — dataStatus may reflect incomplete coverage
- Rate limiting or service downtime — standard HTTP 429 or 5xx responses

## 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 with a quality status and confidence rating, a macro analysis summary covering labour and evidence intents, an evidence block with sourced assets and point-in-time policy, provenance with issuer identity and digital signature, data completeness status, coverage limitations, schema version, and a timestamp of report generation. All findings are backed by stated sources and never inferred.
