## 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 manylives-track-records-five-year-best-sharpe-e1ab38b2
```

Example prompt: Show me the strategies with the best Sharpe ratio over the past five years — I want to see them ranked from highest to lowest along with their return percentages and whether the data is on-chain or simulated.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need strategies ranked by five-year Sharpe ratio — the canonical risk-adjusted performance metric over a long-term horizon. Prefer this over shorter-window or return-only rankings when the user cares about consistency and downside risk, not just raw returns. Best suited for advanced users or agents doing portfolio construction, fund manager due diligence, or strategy screening with a multi-year view.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed (x402 protocol failure) — no data returned
- Empty result set if no strategies meet the five-year data availability threshold
- Simulated data flagged with asterisk may indicate incomplete historical coverage
- Network or upstream data provider outage causing stale or missing results

## How this service works

No forms, no dropdowns. Describe the outcome in plain words and the Brain asks what it must, lists the job, collects offers and recommends one.
