## 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-unemployment-intelligence-c08b2748
```

Example prompt: Pull me the latest South Africa unemployment intelligence from Edge Agents — I need the evidence summary, confidence level, and provenance so I can include it in our board risk briefing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, provenance-signed intelligence report on South Africa unemployment with explicit confidence scoring and source transparency — particularly for board-level, CFO, or autonomous-agent decision pipelines that require verifiable macro labour data rather than raw statistics or unverified news summaries.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided (HTTP 402) — x402 micropayment of $0.01 USDC required before data is returned
- Data unavailable or stale — response will note coverage gaps and source freshness limitations in the limitations array
- Empty evidence assets — live report assets may be empty if no fresh data is available at call time
- Service downtime — API may be unreachable, returning a network or 5xx error

## 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
