# US Industrial Production Pulse — Edge Agents

> US Industrial Production Pulse — Edge Agents is a paid API for AI agents from pay.edge-agents.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns evidence-backed, provenance-signed intelligence on US industrial production conditions, including macro signals, growth indicators, and bounded analysis with contradictions flagged.

## 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-industrial-production-pulse-edge-agents-ae66da37
```

Example prompt: Pull me the latest US industrial production pulse from Edge Agents — I need the macro summary, confidence level, and any flagged contradictions so I can brief the board on current factory output conditions.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, provenance-signed, evidence-bounded briefing on US industrial production for executive or autonomous-agent decision-making — especially when you require confidence scores, contradiction flagging, and citable sourcing rather than a raw data feed or generic news summary. Prefer it over generic LLM summarization when auditability and signed provenance matter, or over raw Fed/Census data APIs when you need a pre-synthesized macro narrative ready for board or strategy consumption.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — 402 Payment Required returned before data is served
- Report data temporarily unavailable — dataStatus field may indicate incomplete coverage
- Evidence assets array empty if no live sources were available at generation time
- Stale generatedAt timestamp if upstream macro data feed is delayed
- Schema version mismatch if client expects older response format

## How this service works

Direct Federal Reserve G.17 total industrial-production index with monthly, three-month and year-over-year change. Purpose: Measure the direction of US industrial output using the Federal Reserve Board's primary G.17 release. 6-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

A JSON object containing a quality block (status and confidence level), an analysis block (macro family, intents array, narrative summary), an evidence block (assets, policy, sources), provenance metadata (issuer URL, signed flag), generatedAt timestamp, schemaVersion, dataStatus, limitations array, and a standard disclaimer that this is market research not investment advice.
