## 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-uk-cpi-inflation-intelligence-88a784fe
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest UK Consumer Price Inflation intelligence from Edge Agents — I need the evidence summary, confidence level, and provenance so I can brief the board on macro risk exposure.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, evidence-backed, provenance-signed UK inflation report with explicit confidence levels and limitations — particularly useful for agentic workflows that require bounded, auditable macro data rather than raw statistical feeds. Prefer this over generic data APIs when your use case demands decision-grade quality signals, contradiction flagging, and a signed issuer record for compliance or board-level use.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed — 402 response returned if USDC micropayment is not made before the call
- Stale data — report generatedAt timestamp may lag if upstream CPI release is delayed
- Empty evidence assets — assets array may be empty if live report data is unavailable at call time
- Schema mismatch — consumers expecting schema v1 may break on v2 response structure
- Service outage — edge-agents.ai may be temporarily unreachable

## How this service works

Latest available United Kingdom consumer price inflation 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 United Kingdom consumer price inflation 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 structured JSON report containing: a quality block (status and confidence level), an analysis block (family, intents, summary narrative), an evidence block (assets, policy, sources), service metadata (serviceId, dataStatus, schemaVersion), provenance (issuer URL, signed flag), a generatedAt timestamp, a disclaimer, and a limitations array describing coverage and freshness caveats.
