## 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-structural-macro-profile-e14d3659
```

Example prompt: Pull me Edge Agents' South Africa structural macro profile — I need the evidence-backed cycle, inflation, labour and growth signals with provenance so I can brief the board on expansion risk.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, provenance-signed, evidence-bounded macroeconomic profile of South Africa specifically — covering structural factors like economic cycle, inflation, labour market, and growth — rather than a generic news summary or unverified data feed. Prefer it for board-level or CFO-grade decision contexts where contradiction flagging, source traceability, and a clear disclaimer are required. It is distinct from real-time market data tickers or investment recommendation services.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed (402) – endpoint requires $0.1 USDC x402 payment before data is returned
- Data temporarily unavailable – dataStatus field may indicate incomplete coverage for certain evidence dimensions
- Stale data – generatedAt timestamp may reflect a prior point-in-time snapshot if live sources are unavailable
- Schema mismatch – callers expecting schemaVersion 1.x may encounter breaking changes in 2.0 response structure
- Network timeout – endpoint may be slow if live macro evidence is being freshly synthesized

## How this service works

Premium twelve-indicator structural macro profile for South Africa, covering growth, inflation, labour, external balance, trade, savings, investment, reserves, real rates and central-government debt where available. Purpose: Provide an autonomous agent one normalized South Africa structural macro brief with explicit coverage, latest observation years and missing indicators. 24-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

A signed JSON report containing: a quality assessment (status and confidence), an analysis block with macro family, intents (evidence, cycle, inflation, labour, growth), and a plain-language summary; an evidence block listing assets, policy stance, and sources; provenance metadata (issuer URL, signed flag); generatedAt timestamp; dataStatus; schema version; and a disclaimer clarifying this is market research, not investment advice.
