## 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-korea-trade-openness-intelligence-f4d65a60
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest Edge Agents intelligence report on South Korea's trade openness — I need the confidence level, any contradictions flagged, and provenance details for a board deck we're putting together?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, provenance-signed macro intelligence specifically on South Korea's trade openness — with explicit confidence tiers, contradiction flagging, and auditable sourcing — rather than raw statistical data feeds or general news aggregation. It is preferable for decision-support workflows (boards, CFOs, strategy teams, autonomous agents) that require bounded, defensible conclusions over unstructured research.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not confirmed (x402 protocol failure) — endpoint returns 402 before delivering data
- Data status marked incomplete if source freshness is insufficient at call time
- Low confidence score returned if macro evidence is sparse or contradictory
- Stale generatedAt timestamp if upstream macro data has not been refreshed
- Empty evidence assets array if no new primary sources are available for the period

## 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
