Example prompt: Can you pull a MacroLens labor market analysis starting from January 2022 and give me an AI-powered summary of how employment trends have evolved?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-interpreted labor market data (employment, unemployment, labor force participation) rather than raw data alone. It combines authoritative FRED and World Bank sources with LLM-generated narrative analysis in a single call, making it ideal for research, reporting, or agent workflows that need both data and interpretation without post-processing. Prefer over generic economic APIs when you specifically need labor-focused macro indicators with built-in AI commentary.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'start' parameter returns validation error
- Invalid date format for 'start' may cause parsing failure or empty results
- FRED or World Bank data unavailable for requested time range returns empty data
- Payment not completed via x402/Base results in 402 Payment Required response
- Start date too recent may return sparse or incomplete data
