## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability edge-agents-uk-unemployment-intelligence-fa6b01bb
```

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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need signed, provenance-tracked UK unemployment intelligence with explicit confidence scoring and contradiction disclosure — particularly for board-level, CFO, or autonomous agent decision workflows where traceability and bounded conclusions matter more than raw data. Prefer over generic data APIs when you need a human-readable summary plus machine-readable quality metadata in a single call for $0.01 USDC.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received (402) — x402 micropayment of $0.01 USDC required before data is returned
- Stale or unavailable source data — limitations array in response will explicitly state coverage gaps
- Empty evidence assets array — live report data not yet refreshed for the current period
- Invalid or malformed request — schema validation failure returns error
- Network timeout on upstream macro data source — retry recommended

## How this service works

Latest available United Kingdom 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 United Kingdom 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

Returns a JSON object containing: a quality block (status, confidence), an analysis block (family, intents array, plain-English summary of UK unemployment findings), an evidence block (assets, policy, sources), serviceId, dataStatus, a disclaimer noting this is market research not investment advice, signed provenance from edge-agents.ai, a generatedAt timestamp, limitations array, and schemaVersion.
