## 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-hong-kong-real-interest-rate-intelligence-6c433e35
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Edge Agents report on Hong Kong's real interest rate — I need the confidence level, a summary of findings, and the provenance details so I can cite the sources in our strategy memo.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, provenance-signed, confidence-scored macro intelligence report specifically on Hong Kong SAR real interest rates — especially when the output must be citable, audit-ready, or fed into an autonomous agent decision pipeline. Prefer it over generic news or financial data APIs when contradictions, source traceability, and bounded decision framing are required for executive or board-level use.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or invalid USDC payment via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required
- Data temporarily unavailable for Hong Kong real interest rate — dataStatus may indicate incomplete
- Stale or point-in-time data if underlying macro sources have not refreshed — limitations field will state this explicitly
- Network or upstream source failure — may return error or reduced confidence score

## 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 signed JSON report containing: quality status and confidence level (e.g. 'strong'/'high'), a macro family summary of Hong Kong real interest rate findings, evidence assets and sourcing policy, a provenance block with issuer URL and signature flag, generation timestamp, schema version, data status, and explicit limitations about coverage and source freshness. Includes a disclaimer that the output is general market research, not investment advice.
