## 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`):

Example prompt: Pull the latest CFTC institutional vs leveraged fund divergence report for Ethereum from Edge Agents — I want to see whether asset managers and hedge funds are positioned differently in CME Micro Ether futures right now, with confidence scoring and source provenance.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need auditable, provenance-signed intelligence specifically on the divergence between institutional (asset manager) and leveraged fund positioning in CME Micro Ether (ETH) futures as reported by the CFTC. It is preferable to generic market data APIs when you require bounded decisions with stated contradictions and source verification rather than raw price feeds or unverified sentiment scores.

## Known failure modes

- CFTC source data not yet published for the current reporting period — dataStatus may indicate incomplete
- Payment not received or x402 authentication failure — endpoint returns 402
- Stale data if CFTC delays weekly COT publication
- Low confidence score if contradictory evidence exists between institutional and leveraged fund reports
- Network timeout on upstream CFTC data aggregation
