Example prompt: What's the air quality like in Cairo right now — give me the AQI, PM2.5, and a health assessment so I know if it's safe to be outside today.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single, convenient API call for all major Cairo air quality indicators (both EU and US AQI standards) with a health label, without having to query Open-Meteo directly or assemble multiple pollution metrics yourself. Ideal for Cairo-specific health, travel, or outdoor-activity decision support at $0.01 per call.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream Open-Meteo/CAMS data unavailability causing stale or missing readings
- Network timeout or 5xx error from the data.intel.rallylive.ca host
- Payment failure if x402 USDC payment is not correctly attached
- Empty or null pollutant fields if the CAMS model has not yet produced a fresh estimate for the current hour
