## 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-unemployment-intelligence-64f478d1
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest New Zealand unemployment data with source provenance and confidence scoring so I can include it in my macro briefing?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need verified, provenance-signed New Zealand unemployment data with explicit confidence scoring and contradiction disclosure — particularly for high-stakes decisions by CEOs, CFOs, boards, or autonomous agents that require traceable evidence rather than raw, unverified statistics. Prefer over generic data APIs when auditability, limitations disclosure, and bounded decision support are required.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed (x402 payment required before data is returned)
- Stale or unavailable source data causing degraded evidence quality
- Empty evidence assets array if underlying data source is temporarily unavailable
- Confidence returned as 'low' if source disagreement or coverage gaps exist
- Network timeout if upstream data aggregation is slow

## How this service works

Latest available New Zealand 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 New Zealand 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 JSON object containing: a quality assessment (status and confidence level), an analysis block with intents and plain-language summary of NZ unemployment findings, an evidence block listing source assets and policy, provenance metadata (issuer URL and signed flag), a generatedAt timestamp, a dataStatus field, a schemaVersion, and a disclaimer clarifying the research is not investment advice. Limitations on source freshness and coverage are explicitly stated within the report.
