## 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-new-zealand-cpi-inflation-intelligence-b02bedc5
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest New Zealand CPI inflation analysis from Edge Agents — I need the evidence summary, confidence level, and provenance so I can include it in our board strategy briefing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need sourced, provenance-signed New Zealand CPI inflation analysis with explicit confidence levels and stated limitations — particularly for decision-support contexts (board reporting, CFO risk assessment, autonomous agent macro pipelines) where traceability and bounded conclusions matter more than raw data feeds. Prefer it over generic data APIs when you need a human-readable summary with evidence attribution rather than just a number.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or invalid USDC payment — 402 Payment Required returned
- Upstream NZ inflation data source unavailable — evidence assets array may be empty with a note on coverage
- Stale or incomplete data — limitations field will explicitly state coverage gaps
- Invalid request format — 400 Bad Request if required properties are malformed
- Service temporarily unavailable — 503 returned if backend is down

## How this service works

Machine services are purchasable per request over x402 on 5 settlement rails (Base/USDC, XRPL/RLUSD, Solana/USDC, Arbitrum/USDC and Polygon/USDC).
