Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 heurist-mesh-fred-macro-release-context-3a83c96b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the recent and upcoming release dates for the CPI macro report, and which FRED series are linked to it? I want to do a pre/post-release analysis.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured release-date timelines and linked series metadata for a specific FRED macroeconomic indicator (e.g. CPI, GDP, NFP, PCE) and want to perform pre- or post-release event analysis. Prefer this over general news or market data endpoints when the specific question is about FRED release schedules and historical series linkage rather than real-time prices or sentiment.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported macro release name returns an error or empty result
- Misspelled or ambiguous release identifier fails to match a FRED release
- Network or payment failure returns a 402 or timeout error
- FRED data temporarily unavailable returns a partial or empty dataset

## How this service works

Return recent release dates and linked series history for one supported macro release. Use this for pre/post-release analysis.

## Output

Returns a structured response including recent and scheduled release dates for the specified macroeconomic release, metadata about the release, and a list of linked FRED data series with their historical context — suitable for building pre/post-release analytical workflows.
