## 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-japan-real-interest-rate-intelligence-e8e4ed08
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Edge Agents report on Japan's real interest rate — I need the evidence summary, confidence level, and any contradictions flagged, so I can brief the board on our Japan exposure.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need evidence-grounded, provenance-signed intelligence specifically on Japan's real interest rate — particularly when your use case requires confidence scoring, contradiction flagging, and source traceability for high-stakes decisions by executives or autonomous agents. Prefer this over generic financial data APIs when you need bounded, explainable conclusions rather than raw data points, and when operating in an x402 micropayment-enabled agent workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed via x402 protocol — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- Service temporarily unavailable or upstream data not fresh — dataStatus may reflect incomplete coverage
- No evidence assets available for the period — assets array may be empty with limitations noted
- Malformed request parameters — may return error or empty analysis
- Rate or quota limits reached — request rejected

## How this service works

Latest available Japan real interest rate 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 Japan real interest rate 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 report containing: quality status and confidence level, a macro analysis summary with intent tags, evidence assets and sourcing policy, provenance with issuer identity and signing status, data completeness status, schema version, generation timestamp, limitations, and a standard disclaimer that this is market research not investment advice.
