## 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-fdi-net-inflows-intelligence-57457696
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest evidence-backed analysis on South Africa's FDI net inflows from Edge Agents — I need the confidence rating, any contradictions flagged, and full source provenance for a strategy review.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a point-in-time, evidence-backed and signed intelligence report specifically on South Africa's FDI net inflows — not raw statistical data. It is best suited for decision-makers or autonomous agents that require provenance, explicit confidence scoring, contradiction flags, and a bounded analytical summary rather than a raw number or spreadsheet. It is particularly valuable when auditability and source traceability matter (board reporting, regulatory briefings, agent memory logs). Prefer alternatives if you need live streaming data, multi-country comparison in one call, or purely quantitative time-series output.

## Known failure modes

- 402 Payment Required if USDC micropayment is not attached to the request
- Empty or missing evidence assets if live data sources are unavailable at query time
- Stale generatedAt timestamp if upstream macro data feeds have not refreshed
- Low confidence or degraded quality status when contradictory or insufficient evidence is found
- Schema version mismatch if client expects a different response structure

## 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).

## Output

A signed JSON report containing: a quality object with status and confidence rating; an analysis block with family classification, intent labels, and a narrative summary of South Africa FDI net inflow findings; an evidence block listing source assets and freshness policy; provenance metadata including issuer URL and signature flag; a generatedAt timestamp; explicit limitations on coverage and source freshness; and a standard disclaimer that findings are general market research, not investment advice.
