Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 agentshield-currency-minor-units-lookup-3a62488e
```

Example prompt: How many minor units does JPY have — like how many decimal places should I use when formatting Japanese yen amounts?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the authoritative minor-unit count for an ISO 4217 currency code — for example, to correctly format monetary values, validate payment amounts, or determine decimal precision. Do NOT use this for exchange rates or currency conversion; a sibling endpoint on agentshield.live handles daily reference rates.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized currency code returns an error response
- Missing required 'code' query parameter causes a 400-level error
- Unofficial or crypto currency codes not in ISO 4217 may not be found

## How this service works

Call when an agent needs the minor-unit count for an ISO currency code. Not an exchange rate.

## Output

Returns the minor-unit count (number of decimal places) for the requested ISO 4217 currency code — for example, USD returns 2 (cents), JPY returns 0 (no subunits), KWD returns 3 (fils).
