## 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-central-government-debt-intelligence-cdd69546
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Edge Agents decision intelligence report on US central government debt — I need the evidence summary, confidence level, and any noted contradictions or limitations for a CFO briefing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, provenance-signed macro intelligence on US central government debt with explicit confidence ratings and contradiction flagging — particularly valuable for board-level, CFO, or strategy-team reporting where source verification matters. Prefer over generic financial data APIs when you need bounded decisions with stated limitations rather than raw numbers.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed (402): x402 micropayment of $0.01 USDC not submitted or rejected — no report returned
- Service unavailable (5xx): upstream data source temporarily inaccessible — retry recommended
- Empty evidence assets: live data source returned no fresh signals — report will note coverage limitations
- Stale or incomplete data: freshness limitations explicitly listed in the limitations array of the response

## How this service works

Latest available United States central government debt 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 States central government debt 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 status and confidence level, an analysis summary with macro intent classification, evidence assets with point-in-time sourcing policy, provenance metadata (issuer URL and signed flag), generatedAt timestamp, data completeness status, a general disclaimer, and a list of coverage or freshness limitations — all at schema version 2.0.
