## 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 italy-real-interest-rate-edge-agents-macro-intelligence-e9084b27
```

Example prompt: What is Italy's current real interest rate? I need an evidence-backed analysis with source provenance and confidence scoring for a board strategy briefing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Italy-specific real interest rate data with explicit provenance, confidence scoring, and bounded decision framing — especially for board-level, CFO, or autonomous agent workflows that require auditable evidence chains rather than raw data feeds. Prefer over generic financial data APIs when you need signed provenance and explicit confidence/quality metadata alongside the macro figure.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — returns HTTP 402 Payment Required
- Data temporarily unavailable for Italy real interest rate — dataStatus field may indicate incomplete
- Source freshness lag — evidence assets may reflect slightly stale macro data, noted in limitations array
- Network timeout on upstream data fetch — retry recommended
- Invalid or malformed request parameters — returns error with schema guidance
