## 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-volatility-regime-intelligence-5554a6ba
```

Example prompt: What is the current cross-market volatility regime right now — high, low, or transitional — and how confident is the evidence, with sources and provenance?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, evidence-backed classification of the current volatility regime across markets with explicit confidence scoring and source provenance — especially for AI agents that must justify decisions with traceable reasoning. Prefer it over raw data feeds when you need a bounded, human-readable assessment with stated limitations rather than unprocessed price or implied-volatility data. Best suited for macro-level regime detection (high/low/transitional volatility cycles) rather than single-asset options pricing or short-term volatility forecasting.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or x402 protocol error — endpoint returns 402 before delivering data
- Stale or unavailable source data — report notes coverage gaps in the limitations array
- Low evidence quality — quality.status may return 'weak' or confidence 'low' with caveats
- Network timeout on live data aggregation — may result in delayed or incomplete response
- Malformed request parameters — endpoint may return error if required fields are missing

## How this service works

Cross-asset short-horizon movement and dispersion regime from independently validated 24-hour price changes. Purpose: Classify observed cross-asset movement intensity without mislabelling it as options implied volatility or annualised realised volatility. 5-minute freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

A JSON object containing: a quality assessment (status and confidence level), an analysis block with regime family classification, intent tags, and a narrative summary, evidence details including relevant assets and policy context, provenance metadata (issuer URL and signature status), data completeness status, schema version, generation timestamp, and a disclaimer clarifying this is general market research and not investment advice.
