## 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-intelligence-06d887ee
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Edge Agents US inflation intelligence report — I need the evidence summary, confidence rating, and any contradictions flagged in the current CPI data.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a provenance-signed, confidence-rated summary of US Consumer Price Inflation backed by live macro evidence rather than a raw data feed or LLM-generated estimate. It is ideal for autonomous agents, strategy teams, CFOs, and boards that require bounded decisions with explicit source citations, contradictions disclosed, and a disclaimer trail — and who want a pay-per-call model at $0.01 USDC rather than a subscription data provider.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not fulfilled (402): USDC micropayment of $0.01 not processed, request blocked
- Service temporarily unavailable: upstream macro data sources not refreshed, dataStatus may indicate incomplete
- Empty evidence assets: live report sources not yet aggregated for the current period
- Stale generatedAt timestamp: data may reflect prior reporting cycle if live feeds are delayed
- Schema mismatch: consumer receives schemaVersion 2.0 fields but parses against older schema

## How this service works

Latest available United States consumer price inflation 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 consumer price inflation 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 JSON object containing a quality block with confidence status (e.g. 'strong'/'high'), an analysis block with the inflation family, intents, and narrative summary, an evidence block listing source assets and policy, provenance with issuer URL and signing status, generatedAt timestamp, dataStatus, schemaVersion, and a standard disclaimer noting this is general market research rather than investment advice.
