## 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 live-cattle-managed-money-positioning-edge-agents-4ec17c79
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest managed money positioning report for live cattle futures from Edge Agents — I want to see whether speculators are net long or short, the confidence level, and the source provenance.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need sourced, point-in-time managed money positioning specifically for live cattle futures — with explicit provenance, confidence scoring, and stated limitations — rather than a generic market data feed or unsourced LLM summary. It is particularly suited to autonomous agents that need verifiable, auditable commodity intelligence with signed provenance for downstream decision workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or USDC balance insufficient — 402 Payment Required returned before data is served
- Data temporarily unavailable due to source report delay — dataStatus may reflect incomplete coverage
- Stale or missing upstream COT/positioning report — limitations array will note the gap explicitly
- Malformed request parameters — likely returns a 400-level error with schema guidance
- Rate limiting or service downtime — 429 or 503 responses possible

## How this service works
