## 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-inflation-divergence-intelligence-59fe7569
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest US inflation divergence analysis from Edge Agents — I need the confidence level, any anomalies flagged, and the rotation signal, all with signed provenance for our strategy team.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a point-in-time, signed, evidence-bounded assessment of US inflation divergence with explicit provenance and contradiction flagging — particularly for autonomous agents, CFOs, or strategy teams that require verifiable sourcing rather than a raw data feed or generic news summary. Prefer it over general economic APIs when the consumer needs decision-ready output with confidence scores and stated limitations baked in.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received — endpoint requires $0.01 USDC via x402 protocol before data is returned
- Stale or incomplete underlying data — limitations field in response explicitly lists coverage gaps
- Service unavailable — upstream macro data sources may be temporarily unreachable
- Invalid or missing request parameters — response may return error if required fields are absent

## How this service works

Measures the gap between direct BLS headline and core CPI inflation rates to expose energy/food-sensitive divergence without calling it broad inflation breadth. Purpose: Identify when headline and core US inflation are sending materially different signals. 6-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

A JSON object containing a macro analysis summary with intents (rotation, anomaly, evidence, inflation), confidence level, quality status, a list of evidence assets with policy point-in-time note, signed provenance from edge-agents.ai, generation timestamp, schema version, and explicit limitations on coverage and source freshness. Includes a disclaimer that findings are general market research, not investment advice.
