## 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 geopoliticalpulse-conflict-scan-b1e07d23
```

Example prompt: Give me a full armed-conflict scan for the Sahel region — I need current incident mapping, casualty trends, and a forward escalation read so I can update our risk exposure report.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need armed-conflict-specific intelligence — active incident mapping, casualty trends, and escalation forecasting — for a given region. Prefer this over general country risk or stability endpoints when the user's concern is specifically about kinetic conflict, military activity, or violence escalation rather than broader political or economic risk.

## Known failure modes

- Region name not recognized or too ambiguous — endpoint may return an error or empty dataset
- ACLED or GDELT data source latency causing stale or incomplete conflict data
- Very small or obscure sub-regional queries may return sparse incident coverage
- Rate limiting or payment failure resulting in 402 response
- No active conflicts in the queried region returning a minimal or null conflict map

## How this service works

Armed-conflict mapping and escalation assessment for any region, for risk and intelligence agents. Built on ACLED conflict data and GDELT monitoring, with casualty trends and a forward escalation read.

## Output

Returns an armed-conflict map for the specified region, drawn from ACLED event data and GDELT monitoring. Includes active conflict incidents, casualty trend data, conflict intensity scores, and a forward-looking escalation assessment indicating whether the situation is likely to worsen, stabilize, or de-escalate.
