## 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 answerpool-impairment-filings-f1c843bb
```

Example prompt: Pull the last 100 material impairment 8-K filings (Item 2.06) from AnswerPool since August 1st, 2026 — I need the company name, ticker, filing date, and EDGAR link for each one to review write-down events.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-filtered, market-wide feed of SEC Item 2.06 material impairment disclosures without parsing the full 8-K tape yourself. It is ideal for credit risk monitoring, asset-quality dashboards, and quantitative screening workflows where write-down events are a specific signal. Prefer it over full-text EDGAR search when you want structured event metadata (ticker, CIK, score, flags) rather than raw document matches, and when you want impairment-only filtering already applied.

## Known failure modes

- Empty events array if no impairment filings occurred in the requested window
- Invalid since timestamp format returns a 422 validation error
- limit out of range (below 1 or above 200) causes a 422 error
- Payment required (402) if x402 USDC payment header is missing or invalid
- Stale index_started_at if EDGAR ingestion is lagging — filings may be delayed

## How this service works

AnswerPool turns SEC EDGAR, the Federal Register, USAspending, NIH, BLS and OpenAlex into structured JSON answers that AI agents and developers fetch in one call. 69 endpoints free, no account; derived analyses $0.02–$0.05 per call by card credits or USDC (x402). MCP server, full provenance.

## Output

Returns a paginated JSON list of impairment-related 8-K events, each containing event_id, accession number, CIK, ticker, company name, form type, event_type, occurred_at timestamp, filing URL, flags, relevance score, and a structured payload with impairment details. Also includes as_of timestamp, total count, since cursor, and index_started_at for pagination.
