## 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 agishub-time-now-b7c28488
```

Example prompt: What time is it right now in Tokyo? Give me the local time, UTC offset, and whether daylight saving is in effect — use the Asia/Tokyo timezone.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the precise current local time for a specific IANA timezone, including DST awareness and UTC offset — especially useful in scheduling, meeting coordination, or display contexts where you need authoritative wall-clock time rather than just UTC. Prefer it over manual offset calculations or non-authoritative sources.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA timezone string returns an error response
- Missing 'timezone' query parameter results in a 400 Bad Request
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns a 5xx error
- Ambiguous timezone abbreviations (not IANA format) may be rejected

## How this service works

Get the current local time in an IANA timezone, including the UTC offset, zone abbreviation and whether DST is in effect. Use whenever you need to know what time it is 'now' somewhere.

## Output

A JSON object containing the current local time in the requested IANA timezone, the UTC offset (e.g. +05:30), the timezone abbreviation (e.g. IST, PST, CET), and a boolean or flag indicating whether DST is currently in effect.
