## 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-real-interest-rate-intelligence-c18d7def
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest South Africa real interest rate intelligence from Edge Agents — I need the evidence summary, confidence level, and provenance details so I can include it in a board briefing on emerging market exposure.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a signed, provenance-tracked, evidence-bounded view of South Africa's real interest rate specifically — particularly for institutional, board-level, or autonomous-agent workflows where auditability, contradiction flagging, and confidence scoring matter more than raw data alone. Prefer over generic data APIs when you need the analysis to carry a provenance signature and explicit limitations disclosure.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or invalid USDC payment (x402 payment required error)
- Data temporarily unavailable for SA real interest rate (dataStatus not complete)
- Stale or low-confidence evidence resulting in lower quality/confidence scores
- Source freshness issues noted in limitations array
- Network timeout from pay.edge-agents.ai
- Invalid or missing required parameters returning 400-level error
