## 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 us-cpi-economic-indicator-with-ai-commentary-d03ad3ff
```

Example prompt: What's the latest US CPI reading and what does it mean for inflation — give me the number and an AI explanation of what's driving it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need both raw US CPI data and an AI-generated interpretation in a single call, rather than fetching raw data from a government source and separately generating commentary. Ideal for agents building economic digests, inflation monitoring, or financial briefings for US markets.

## Known failure modes

- Data unavailable for the requested period — returns 404 or empty response
- Payment not processed via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required
- Upstream economic data source unavailable — returns 503
- Rate limiting exceeded — returns 429
