## 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 fold-x402-perp-market-intelligence-reader-1c6e1446
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest market intelligence for ETH perps — I need the structure, key price levels, indicators, and funding rate all in one shot.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an onchain or autonomous trading agent needs a comprehensive, machine-readable snapshot of a perpetual futures market — including structure, indicators, levels, and funding — in a single paid API call. Ideal when consolidating multiple data fetches into one round-trip matters, and when the agent is capable of executing x402 micropayments (USDC on-chain). Prefer over free/REST alternatives when operating in a trustless, pay-per-use agent context.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported symbol returns an error status
- Missing required 'symbol' parameter causes a 400-style error
- Payment failure via x402 results in a 402 response before data is delivered
- Network timeout if upstream market data is unavailable
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded on the x402 facilitator side
