## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability lumi-trades-institutional-policy-brief-b25e516e
```

Example prompt: Give me today's institutional and policy brief for digital assets — I want sourced headlines on what regulators, central banks, and tokenization firms are doing, with impact ratings and which coins each move touches.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single, pay-per-call, sourced and structured daily digest of institutional and regulatory digital asset activity — especially when you need attribution (source URLs), impact scoring, confidence levels, network/coin tagging, and freshness guarantees (stale_after). Prefer it over general news APIs when the focus is specifically on regulators, central banks, banks, and tokenization firms acting in the digital asset space, and when you need structured JSON output suitable for downstream agent reasoning rather than raw news text.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- Data is stale (past stale_after) — response still served but stale_after field signals expiry
- No institutional events for the current period — items array may be empty
- Invalid format parameter — may default to JSON or return an error
- Network timeout from upstream news aggregation — may return partial items or 503

## How this service works

Daily Institutional & Policy Brief: dated, sourced items on digital-asset and stablecoin activity by central banks, standard-setters, regulators, banks and tokenization firms, with impact, confidence and the networks each item touches. JSON with markdown, or format=md. Neutral; not advice.
