## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability agishub-utc-offset-lookup-c8884ca8
```

Example prompt: What is the exact UTC offset for the Asia/Kolkata timezone right now, including whether DST is in effect?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a precise, DST-aware UTC offset for any IANA timezone at a specific past, present, or future instant — especially for fractional-hour timezones like India (+05:30) or Nepal (+05:45) where simple offset tables are error-prone. Prefer this over timezone conversion endpoints when you only need the raw offset, not a full datetime conversion.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA timezone name returns an error
- Malformed ISO 8601 instant string causes a parsing error
- Missing required 'timezone' parameter returns a 400-level error
- Ambiguous natural language instant may be misinterpreted

## How this service works

Get the exact UTC offset of an IANA timezone at a given instant, DST-aware. Correctly handles fractional offsets such as India +05:30 and Nepal +05:45.

## Output

A JSON object containing the UTC offset for the requested IANA timezone at the given instant, expressed in minutes and as a formatted offset string (e.g. +05:30), along with DST status. Handles fractional offsets correctly.
