## 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-unemployment-intelligence-d6c1f8f4
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest South Korea unemployment intelligence from Edge Agents — I need the evidence summary, confidence level, and provenance details for our strategy briefing?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a point-in-time, provenance-signed intelligence report on South Korea unemployment specifically — with explicit confidence ratings, contradiction flags, and source traceability — rather than a raw data feed or generic economic statistics API. It is best suited for decision-makers and AI agents who need bounded, auditable macro intelligence rather than time-series data or forecast modelling.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or rejected (402 Payment Required) — endpoint requires $0.01 USDC per call via x402 protocol
- Service temporarily unavailable or upstream data source stale — dataStatus may indicate incomplete
- Empty evidence assets array if no fresh primary source data is available at time of call
- Malformed or missing required headers for x402 payment flow

## How this service works

Latest available South Korea unemployment plus a comparable annual history from the World Bank World Development Indicators API, with source, lag and revision caveats. Purpose: Give an autonomous agent a normalized, directly sourced South Korea unemployment series without forcing it to understand World Bank indicator codes or response shapes. 24-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

A JSON object containing: a quality block with status and confidence level; an analysis block with the macro family tag, intents (e.g. 'evidence', 'labour'), and a plain-language summary of current South Korea unemployment findings; an evidence block listing assets and sourcing policy; provenance metadata including issuer URL and signed flag; generatedAt timestamp; dataStatus; schemaVersion; and a disclaimer clarifying this is general market research, not investment advice.
