## 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 tokenguard-brief-market-f9bb2d7b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current market brief for BTC — is sentiment greedy or fearful, how crowded are longs, and what's the annualized funding rate on perps right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, opinionated market brief for a specific crypto perp symbol, combining sentiment, funding rate, and regime in a single call. Prefer this over raw exchange APIs when you want pre-interpreted analyst notes alongside the raw metrics, and when you are building an agent that needs a concise signal rather than raw tick data.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported symbol returns an error or empty response
- Symbol defaults to BTC if not provided — may return BTC data unintentionally
- Stale data if underlying data providers are delayed
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 micropayment protocol
- Hugging Face Space cold-start latency causing timeout

## How this service works

One-call crypto market regime: total market cap and 24h change, Fear & Greed sentiment, and perp funding/open interest, resolved into risk-on / neutral / risk-off plus a crowded-long / crowded-short positioning read. Surfaces leverage fragility that price alone does not show.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: market regime (e.g. 'risk-on'), positioning label (e.g. 'crowded_long'), sentiment score (0-100), sentiment label (e.g. 'Greed'), annualized funding rate percentage, market cap in USD, 24h market cap change percentage, and plain-English analyst notes flagging risks like leveraged fragility or flush risk.
