## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability geopoliticalpulse-instability-signal-6eef4b50
```

Example prompt: Can you run an instability signal check on Nigeria right now — I need to know if there are any pre-crisis conditions brewing, like coup risk, currency crisis signs, or civil unrest indicators, using the latest GDELT sentiment and governance data?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need an early-warning composite signal specifically synthesizing GDELT sentiment, World Bank governance scores, and OSINT for pre-crisis detection — especially for coup, currency crisis, or civil unrest scenarios. Prefer over general country risk endpoints when the focus is on detecting instability before a crisis breaks rather than assessing ongoing conflict or sanctions exposure.

## Known failure modes

- Country or region not recognized or outside coverage — 404 or empty result
- GDELT or World Bank data feed lag causing stale signal
- Ambiguous region name producing incorrect country mapping
- Payment not processed or x402 auth failure — 402 response
- Rate limiting if called too frequently — 429 response

## How this service works

Early-warning system for risk and intelligence agents. Combines GDELT sentiment, World Bank governance data, and open-source intelligence to detect pre-crisis conditions before they break: coups, currency crises, unrest.

## Output

Returns a composite instability signal score and breakdown for the queried country or region, including GDELT-derived sentiment trends, World Bank governance indicators, OSINT-sourced risk flags, and classified pre-crisis condition types (coup, currency crisis, unrest) with confidence levels.
