## 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-unemployment-intelligence-476ad73a
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Hong Kong unemployment intelligence from Edge Agents — I need the current findings, confidence level, and source provenance so I can include it in a strategy briefing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need citable, provenance-signed Hong Kong unemployment data with explicit confidence ratings and contradiction flags — especially for board-level, CFO, or autonomous agent decision workflows where source traceability matters. Prefer over generic web search when you need structured, bounded intelligence rather than raw news, and over generic macro APIs when you need decision-ready output with quality metadata.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not fulfilled (402) — USDC payment required before data is returned
- Service temporarily unavailable — upstream macro data source may be delayed
- Stale data — generatedAt timestamp may lag real-world report publication
- Empty evidence assets — live report may not yet be available, assets array returned empty
- Schema mismatch — caller should validate against schemaVersion 2.0

## How this service works

Latest available Hong Kong SAR, China unemployment 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 unemployment 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 structured JSON response containing: a quality object with status and confidence level, an analysis summary with macro family and labour intents, evidence assets and sourcing policy, provenance including issuer URL and signed flag, a generatedAt timestamp, dataStatus, schema version, stated limitations, and a disclaimer clarifying this is market research not investment advice.
