# Edge Agents US Capacity Utilization Pulse

> Edge Agents US Capacity Utilization Pulse is a paid API for AI agents from pay.edge-agents.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns evidence-backed, bounded analysis of the latest US capacity utilization data including macro cycle signals, inflation and growth implications, and sourced provenance.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-us-capacity-utilization-pulse-ae7af361
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest US capacity utilization pulse from Edge Agents and tell me what it means for the current inflation and business cycle outlook — I need confidence level, any contradictions flagged, and the source provenance.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need current, evidence-backed US capacity utilization intelligence with explicit provenance, confidence scoring, and contradiction flagging — particularly for decision-support contexts like board presentations, CFO risk assessments, or autonomous agent macro enrichment where auditability and bounded conclusions matter. Prefer over generic data feeds when you need a synthesized, human-readable analysis with sourcing rather than a raw statistical release.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed — 402 response requiring USDC payment before data is returned
- Data temporarily unavailable — dataStatus field may indicate incomplete if source feed is stale
- Source freshness limitations — coverage gaps or unavailable evidence are explicitly stated within the paid report
- Invalid request format — malformed query parameters may result in an error response
- Confidence reported as low if underlying macro data is contradictory or sparse

## How this service works

Direct Federal Reserve G.17 total capacity-utilization rate and recent change. Purpose: Track utilisation pressure in the US industrial sector as a growth and inflation-capacity input. 6-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object containing: a quality block with status and confidence level, an analysis block with macro family classification, cycle-relevant intents (evidence, cycle, inflation, growth) and a narrative summary, an evidence block listing source assets and policy, a serviceId, dataStatus, provenance with signed issuer, generatedAt timestamp, schema version, and a disclaimer clarifying this is general market research not investment advice.
