## 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-rates-intelligence-02ed38c0
```

Example prompt: Pull me the latest US rates intelligence from Edge Agents — I need a confidence-scored, evidence-backed summary of where rates are heading, including any contradictions and the provenance signature, for a board-level strategy briefing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a provenance-signed, confidence-scored, contradiction-aware US interest rates intelligence brief rather than raw data feeds. It is best suited for high-stakes decision contexts — board presentations, CFO risk memos, autonomous agent macro-awareness — where the evidence chain and limitations disclosure matter as much as the conclusion. Prefer it over generic financial data APIs when bounded, verifiable decision intelligence with issuer provenance is required.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate intelligence data temporarily unavailable — returns incomplete or degraded dataStatus
- Service timeout if upstream macro data sources are slow to respond
- Invalid or missing x402 payment header — request rejected before processing
- Evidence sources unavailable at time of call — limitations field will document gaps

## 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 structured JSON report containing: a quality assessment (status and confidence level), an analysis block with macro family classification, intent tags (e.g. momentum, evidence, rates), and a plain-language summary; an evidence block with source assets and point-in-time policy snapshot; provenance metadata including issuer URL and cryptographic signature flag; a generatedAt timestamp; schema version; data completeness status; stated limitations around coverage and source freshness; and a disclaimer clarifying this is general market research, not investment advice.
