## 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-fdi-net-inflows-intelligence-86dcc031
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Edge Agents macro report on US foreign direct investment net inflows — I need the confidence rating, evidence summary, and any flagged contradictions for our strategy review.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, provenance-signed macro intelligence report on US FDI net inflows specifically — particularly when your workflow requires confidence ratings, explicit contradictions, and sourced evidence rather than raw data. Prefer this over generic data APIs when decision-makers need audit-ready provenance or when an AI agent must justify a strategic recommendation with verifiable macro backing. It is especially suited for autonomous agent pipelines where bounded, point-in-time evidence with stated limitations is required for responsible decision-making.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- Service temporarily unavailable — upstream macro data sources may be stale or unreachable
- Evidence assets array empty — live report may have no fresh corroborating sources at query time
- Rate limiting or authentication failure on x402 payment layer
- Response schema version mismatch if client expects a different schemaVersion

## 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

A JSON object containing a quality assessment (status and confidence level), a macro analysis summary with family classification and intent tags, an evidence block with sourced assets and point-in-time policy, a signed provenance record from edge-agents.ai, a generatedAt timestamp, schema version, data status indicator, stated limitations, and a standard disclaimer that this is market research rather than investment advice.
