## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, evidence-backed managed money positioning intelligence for WTI crude oil specifically — particularly when provenance, confidence scoring, and contradiction flagging are required for defensible business or investment decisions. Prefer this over raw CFTC data feeds when you need synthesized analysis with quality metadata rather than raw COT numbers, and when the agent or user requires a citable, signed report suitable for board or strategy team use.

## Known failure modes

- Stale or unavailable source data resulting in incomplete report with stated limitations
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returning 402 status before data is delivered
- Network timeout on the GET request
- Data status flagged as incomplete if upstream CFTC or exchange data is delayed
- Schema version mismatch if client expects an older response format
