## 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 japan-current-account-balance-edge-agents-decision-intelligence-f1a71cd8
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Japan current account balance report from Edge Agents — I need the evidence summary, confidence level, and provenance so I can include it in a board-level macro briefing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need verifiable, provenance-signed Japan current account balance intelligence with explicit confidence scoring and source attribution — particularly for autonomous agent workflows, board-level decision support, or compliance-sensitive contexts where raw data without provenance is insufficient. Prefer this over generic financial data APIs when auditability, contradiction flagging, and bounded decision framing matter more than raw data volume.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or x402 payment protocol failure — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- No fresh data available for the reporting period — dataStatus may indicate incomplete or stale data
- Source data unavailable — evidence assets array may be empty with limitations noted
- Invalid or missing service identifier — returns error or empty response
- Network timeout or upstream macro data provider outage

## How this service works

Latest available Japan current account balance plus a comparable annual history from the World Bank World Development Indicators API, with source, lag and revision caveats. Purpose: Give an autonomous agent a normalized, directly sourced Japan current account balance series without forcing it to understand World Bank indicator codes or response shapes. 24-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object containing: a quality assessment with status and confidence level, an analysis summary covering macro family and key intents, evidence assets and sourcing policy, provenance details including issuer and signing status, generation timestamp, data completeness status, schema version, and a disclaimer clarifying the report is not investment advice.
