# Edge Agents: Hong Kong SAR Reserve Buffer (Months of Imports)

> Edge Agents: Hong Kong SAR Reserve Buffer (Months of Imports) is a paid API for AI agents from pay.edge-agents.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns evidence-backed macro intelligence on Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserve adequacy measured in months of import cover, with provenance, confidence scoring, and contradiction flags.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-sar-reserve-buffer-months-of-imports-25989ff0
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Edge Agents decision intelligence report on Hong Kong's foreign reserve buffer — specifically how many months of imports the reserves cover — and tell me the confidence level and any key limitations flagged.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a cryptographically signed, provenance-tracked macro intelligence report specifically on Hong Kong SAR's foreign reserve adequacy in months-of-import-cover terms, with explicit confidence scoring and contradiction disclosure. Prefer this over generic data APIs when audit trails, bounded decisions, and evidence citations matter — e.g. for board-level risk reporting, autonomous agent decision loops requiring verifiable inputs, or compliance workflows where data lineage must be documented. At $0.01 per call it is cost-effective for both human-initiated lookups and high-frequency agent polling.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — 402 response, no data returned
- Data temporarily unavailable due to source freshness lag — dataStatus may be 'incomplete'
- Source evidence not yet published for the reference period — assets array may be empty
- Network timeout on upstream macro data source — retry recommended
- Invalid or malformed request parameters — 400 error with schema validation message

## How this service works

Latest available Hong Kong SAR, China reserve buffer plus a comparable annual history from the World Bank World Development Indicators API, with source, lag and revision caveats. Purpose: Give an autonomous agent a normalized, directly sourced Hong Kong SAR, China reserve buffer series without forcing it to understand World Bank indicator codes or response shapes. 24-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

A JSON object containing: quality status (e.g. 'strong') and confidence level (e.g. 'high'); an analysis block with family tag ('macro'), intent labels, and a narrative summary of Hong Kong reserve buffer findings; an evidence block listing source assets, policy type, and sourcing method; provenance metadata with issuer URL and digital signature flag; a generatedAt timestamp; a serviceId confirming the query; dataStatus; schema version; limitations list; and a standard disclaimer noting this is market research, not investment advice.
