## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability nexus-agent-services-financial-research-3bf9bfe0
```

Example prompt: Can you pull a financial research summary on bitcoin from NEXUS — I want the key analyst takeaways, relevant sources, and any BTC signal context?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs on-demand, pay-per-call financial research summaries with sourced references and asset-level signal context, especially for crypto assets like BTC and ETH. It is well-suited for agents operating in agentic payment flows using x402 on Base, where per-query billing is acceptable and a structured JSON summary with sources is needed rather than raw data feeds.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure if x402 USDC transaction on Base is not completed or wallet lacks funds
- Empty or low-quality results if query is too vague or unrecognized by the research engine
- Rate limiting or service unavailability on the hosted Render instance
- No signal_context data returned if the queried asset is not tracked
- Partial results if sources are unavailable or scraping fails upstream

## How this service works

Pay-per-call financial data. Streamable HTTP MCP. x402 USDC on Base. Not financial advice.

## Output

A JSON object containing the original query, a list of source URLs with titles, a three-sentence analyst summary, and a signal_context object with per-asset data (e.g. BTC, ETH) providing relevant market signals.
