Example prompt: Pull me an AI-powered macro trade analysis from MacroLens starting from January 2022 — I want to see trade trends, balances, and economic indicators synthesized from FRED and World Bank data.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-synthesized macro-level trade analysis grounded in authoritative FRED and World Bank datasets, especially when you want natural-language interpretation alongside raw indicators rather than just raw time-series data. Prefer this over generic data APIs when you need both the data retrieval and the LLM-powered narrative synthesis in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed 'start' date string causes validation failure
- Invalid date format may return an error or empty data
- FRED or World Bank upstream data unavailability could cause partial or failed response
- Payment not processed via x402 on Base results in 402 unauthorized response
- Requesting a start date far in the future returns no meaningful data
