## 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 usd-index-institutional-vs-leverage-divergence-intelligence-5878d883
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest Edge Agents report on USD Index divergence between institutional and leveraged-fund positioning — I want to see the evidence quality, any contradictions, and how confident the analysis is?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a signed, provenance-tracked analysis of the divergence between institutional (asset manager) and speculative (leveraged fund) positioning specifically on the U.S. Dollar Index, particularly when you require contradiction flagging, source transparency, and a bounded confidence rating rather than a raw data feed. Prefer it over generic FX data APIs when auditability, chain-of-evidence, and decision-ready framing for executives or autonomous agents are required.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received — endpoint returns HTTP 402 requiring USDC payment before data is served
- Data temporarily unavailable — dataStatus field may indicate incomplete coverage
- Low confidence signal — quality.confidence may return 'low' if source freshness is insufficient
- Source staleness — limitations array will describe any coverage gaps or missing evidence
- Schema mismatch — callers expecting schema v1 responses will need to handle schemaVersion 2.0 format

## 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

Returns a JSON object with: a quality block (status and confidence level), an analysis block (FX family tag, intent labels like leverage/anomaly/institutional, and a human-readable summary), an evidence block (assets covered, policy, sources), provenance metadata (issuer URL, signed flag), generation timestamp, schema version, and a disclaimer clarifying the report is general market research and not investment advice.
