## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability edge-agents-us-unemployment-decision-intelligence-9fb24cde
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest US unemployment intelligence from Edge Agents — I need a verified, evidence-backed summary with confidence level and provenance for our strategy meeting today?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a current, verifiable, and bounded intelligence briefing on US unemployment specifically — with explicit confidence scores, provenance signing, and stated limitations — rather than raw government data feeds or unverified aggregator outputs. Ideal for agents or analysts who need audit-trail-ready macro labor data for boardroom, investment, or strategic decision contexts and are willing to pay per-call for quality assurance.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance — endpoint returns HTTP 402 and no data
- Data temporarily unavailable — dataStatus field may indicate incomplete coverage
- Stale or low-confidence data — quality.status or quality.confidence may reflect limitations in source freshness
- Invalid or missing service ID — returns an error or empty response
- Network timeout — no response returned; agent should retry

## 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
