## 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 www-stratalize-com-bd95c885
```

Example prompt: Pull me the full commodity benchmark snapshot — all categories — so I can see where WTI crude, gold, copper, wheat, and soybeans are trading right now along with their weekly and monthly changes for late-cycle hedging signals.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a macro agent, portfolio manager, or inflation analyst needs a fast, consolidated commodity price snapshot with trend context (weekly/monthly deltas) in a single call. Prefer over individual commodity data sources when you need cross-category coverage (energy + metals + agriculture) simultaneously. Ideal for late-cycle hedging signals, inflation pressure assessments, or portfolio rebalancing decisions. The agriculture category is particularly useful for food inflation monitoring.

## Known failure modes

- FRED data source temporarily unavailable — stale or missing prices returned
- Invalid category enum value — returns 400 error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) — returns 402 payment required
- Commodity not available for requested category — empty result set
- Network timeout during FRED data fetch — returns 503

## How this service works

Use when a macro agent or portfolio manager needs current commodity price levels and inflation pressure signal. Returns WTI crude, natural gas, gold, copper, wheat, soybeans with weekly and monthly changes. Example: live WTI and grain levels with inflation-pressure label. Source: EIA + FRED daily. Every response is attested for integrity verification in regulated automation workflows.

## Output

A structured dataset containing current spot prices and weekly/monthly percentage changes for major commodities across energy (WTI crude, natural gas), metals (gold, copper), and agriculture (wheat, soybeans), with an inflation pressure signal derived from the combined readings, sourced from FRED daily data.
