## 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-core-cpi-pulse-b861ccc2
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest US Core CPI Pulse report from Edge Agents — I need the current inflation momentum signal, confidence level, and evidence provenance so I can brief the board on macro risk.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, evidence-backed, signed inflation intelligence report specifically for US Core CPI with explicit provenance, confidence scoring, and contradiction disclosure — particularly useful for autonomous agents feeding macro signals into decision workflows, or business leaders who need audit-ready inflation intelligence rather than raw data. Prefer this over general news APIs or raw BLS data when you need interpretive analysis, bounded decisions, and verifiable sourcing in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not confirmed — endpoint requires $0.01 USDC via x402 protocol before data is released
- Stale or unavailable source data — limitations field will explicitly state coverage gaps
- No input schema parameters recognized — endpoint may return default CPI pulse with no customization
- Service temporarily unavailable — upstream macro data sources may be delayed around CPI release windows

## How this service works

Edge Agents provides evidence-backed macro, market and decision intelligence for AI agents, individual leaders and investors, businesses and government teams requiring consulting, procurement and decision support. Machine services are purchasable per request over x402 on 5 settlement rails (Base/USDC, XRPL/RLUSD, Solana/USDC, Arbitrum/USDC and Polygon/USDC).

## Output

Returns a structured JSON report containing: an overall quality status and confidence level, an analysis summary with inflation family classification and momentum intents (e.g. 'momentum', 'evidence', 'inflation'), evidence assets with source policy and provenance details, a signed issuer provenance record, a generatedAt timestamp, schema version, and a disclaimer clarifying this is market research rather than investment advice. Limitations on coverage and source freshness are explicitly stated.
