## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-interpreted inflation analysis rather than raw data — it combines FRED and World Bank data sources with MiMo LLM narrative intelligence in a single call, ideal for agents that need both the numbers and a human-readable economic interpretation of inflation indicators without building their own analysis pipeline.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized indicator string returns failure response
- Missing required indicator field returns 400-level error
- LLM inference timeout causes delayed or failed response
- FRED or World Bank data unavailable for specified indicator
- Payment of 0.4 USDC not fulfilled via x402 protocol causes 402 payment required error
