Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-import-reserves-buffer-intelligence-months-of-imports-c702854c
```

Example prompt: Pull me the latest Edge Agents macro report on US foreign reserves expressed as months of import coverage — I need the confidence level, the evidence quality status, and the signed provenance so I can share it with the board.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a sourced, provenance-signed, confidence-rated assessment of US foreign reserve adequacy measured in months of import coverage — especially when the output must be auditable (signed, with contradictions flagged) for boards, CFOs, or compliance teams. Prefer it over generic macro data feeds when you need structured evidence quality scoring rather than raw statistics.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or USDC balance insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- Upstream macro data temporarily unavailable — dataStatus may reflect incomplete coverage
- Evidence assets array empty if no fresh sourced data is available for the reporting period
- Network timeout if reserve data pipeline is slow to respond

## How this service works

Edge Agents provides evidence-backed macro, market and decision intelligence for AI agents, individual leaders and investors, businesses and government teams requiring consulting, procurement and decision support. Machine services are purchasable per request over x402 on 5 settlement rails (Base/USDC, XRPL/RLUSD, Solana/USDC, Arbitrum/USDC and Polygon/USDC).

## Output

A JSON object containing: quality status (e.g. 'strong') and confidence level (e.g. 'high'); an analysis block with family classification ('macro'), intent tags, and a plain-language summary of US reserve buffer findings; an evidence block with source policy and cited assets; serviceId, dataStatus, generatedAt timestamp, schemaVersion, a signed provenance object with issuer URL, and a disclaimer clarifying the output is market research and not investment advice.
