Example prompt: Can you pull the latest Edge Agents decision intelligence report on Japan FDI net inflows — I need the evidence summary, confidence level, and any noted contradictions for our Asia strategy review?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, provenance-signed macro intelligence on Japan FDI net inflows specifically — particularly when decision support requires explicit confidence scoring, contradiction flagging, and audit-ready sourcing rather than raw data. It is best suited for executive, board, or autonomous agent workflows where evidence traceability and bounded conclusions matter more than raw speed or volume of data.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not accepted or insufficient USDC balance — HTTP 402 returned before data is delivered
- Data temporarily unavailable for this reporting period — dataStatus may reflect incomplete coverage
- Low-confidence or sparse evidence — quality.status may return 'weak' with limited assets
- Schema version mismatch if client expects a different response structure
- Rate limiting or access restrictions on the x402 payment facilitator

## How this service works

Latest available Japan fdi net inflows 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 fdi net inflows 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

A structured JSON report containing: quality status and confidence level, a macro-family analysis summary covering Japan FDI net inflows, evidence assets with point-in-time sourcing policy, provenance metadata with issuer and signing status, data completeness status, generation timestamp, schema version, and a disclaimer noting this is general market research rather than investment advice.
