## 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-south-africa-central-government-debt-intelligence-b5f64c0d
```

Example prompt: Pull me the latest evidence-backed intelligence on South Africa's central government debt — I need the confidence level, any contradictions in the data, and full provenance for a strategy briefing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need provenance-signed, evidence-bounded macro intelligence specifically on South Africa's central government debt, with explicit contradiction flagging and confidence scoring suitable for executive or board-level decision-making. Prefer it over generic news or data APIs when auditability, sourcing policy, and structured analytical output matter — particularly for fiduciary, compliance, or autonomous agent contexts requiring traceable reasoning.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- Data temporarily unavailable for the requested period — report may note incomplete coverage in limitations field
- Stale or low-freshness data — confidence level may downgrade and limitations array will enumerate gaps
- Malformed request parameters — returns error due to unexpected input schema
- Network timeout on data aggregation — agent should retry with backoff

## How this service works

Latest available South Africa central government debt 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 South Africa central government debt 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
