## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability tradepulse-028a9a42
```

Example prompt: Pull me the TradePulse trade signal for the steel category — I want to see current US import volumes, year-over-year trend, top source countries, and tariff exposure.

## When to prefer this

Choose TradePulse when you need structured, ready-to-use US trade flow and tariff data for a specific commodity without scraping government databases yourself. It is ideal for supply chain risk agents, macro research workflows, procurement tools, and investment analysis pipelines that need per-category import/export volumes, source-country concentration, and tariff burden in a single low-cost call. Prefer it over generic web search when you need numeric data (dollar values, YoY percentages, duty rates) rather than news or commentary.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported commodity category returns an error or empty result
- Payment failure via x402 (insufficient USDC balance or Base network issue) blocks the request
- Stale data if US Census or USITC upstream data is delayed
- Category string typo or unsupported variant returns no match
- Rate limiting or network timeout on the API host

## How this service works

US trade-flow + tariff signal by commodity

## Output

A structured signal object containing: the commodity category, latest monthly US import value in USD, latest monthly US export value in USD, year-over-year percentage change on both imports and exports, top-5 source countries with individual import share percentages and a single-country concentration metric, and US tariff exposure details including duty-free vs dutiable classification and applicable duty rate range. Also includes a human-readable summary signal string.
