## 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 market-intelligence-api-decision-lite-8b5c877d
```

Example prompt: Give me a quick trading decision for ETHUSD — tell me if it's a buy or sell, the conviction level, and whether I should go ahead with a buy-side trade right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, low-cost ($0.05) directional trading verdict and don't need full detail — ideal for screening many assets quickly, pre-trade checks, or lightweight agent pipelines that only need a GO/WAIT signal. Use the full $1 decision engine when you need complete explanations and raw pillar data.

## Known failure modes

- Symbol not found or not covered — returns 404 or empty coverage error
- Invalid symbol format — returns 400 bad request
- Symbol covered by fewer sources than required — partial or degraded response
- Payment not included or insufficient — 402 Payment Required
- Rate limit exceeded — 429 Too Many Requests

## How this service works

Buy or sell signal, cheap ($0.05): the $1 decision engine reduced to action (STRONG_BUY..STRONG_SELL), direction, conviction, GO/WAIT for a side and each pillar's stance. A rule-based aggregation of the data, not a forecast; its live hit rate is free at /api/v1/decision/track-record. Crypto, US stocks or ISINs.

## Output

Returns a compact JSON object with: an action label (STRONG_BUY, BUY, NEUTRAL, SELL, or STRONG_SELL), directional bias, a conviction indicator, and — when a side is specified — a GO/GO_SMALL/WAIT/NO_GO verdict for that side, plus a stance summary for each underlying analytical pillar.
