## 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-macro-real-interest-rate-intelligence-caa81f84
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest real interest rate macro analysis from Edge Agents — I need the evidence summary, confidence level, and provenance for our board strategy session on emerging market monetary conditions.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need signed, evidence-backed real interest rate analysis with explicit provenance and contradiction disclosure — not a raw data feed or a generic rate lookup. It is best suited for AI agents, strategy teams, CFOs, and boards who require traceable macro intelligence with confidence scoring, rather than a simple numeric rate from a central bank API. Prefer this over generic macro data endpoints when auditability, contradiction flagging, and decision-quality framing matter.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received (402) — call requires $0.01 USDC via x402 protocol before data is returned
- Stale or incomplete data — report may note coverage gaps or source freshness limitations in the evidence section
- Empty evidence assets — live report may have no supporting asset files if sources are unavailable at call time
- Invalid or malformed request — schema expects specific property fields; missing required fields return an error
- Service unavailability — upstream macro data aggregation may be temporarily down

## 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).
