## 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 agent402-business-day-counter-static-holidays-0b56979b
```

Example prompt: How many business days are there between March 3, 2025 and April 25, 2025 in the US, excluding holidays?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, cheap ($0.001), deterministic business-day count using static holiday calendars — ideal for SLA math, settlement calculations, payroll windows, or any offline scheduling logic across US, Germany, France, Ireland, Japan, Australia, or Singapore. Prefer it over general-purpose date libraries when you need a consistent, pre-validated holiday dataset for multiple regions without maintaining your own holiday lists.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing date format (not YYYY-MM-DD) returns validation error
- Unsupported country code outside US/DE/FR/IE/JP/AU/SG returns error
- End date before start date may return zero or error
- Network timeout on rare occasions
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 before any computation

## How this service works

Don't burn tokens on deterministic work. Go/no-go jobs first: payout preflight, text firewall (PII/secrets), budget check — then rails, calendars, finmath. x402 USDC on Base. UK + global. agent402.co.uk — not agent402.tools. $0.001–$0.002 USDC on Base. No API keys.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'valid' boolean, the 'country' code used, and 'business_days' integer representing the count of non-weekend, non-holiday days in the requested range.
