## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-strale-io-8fc7aaa6

Example prompt: Pull up the trade data for Germany — I want to see its top exports, top imports, trade balance, and main trading partners. Use country code DE and get the most recent available year.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a concise, structured trade profile for a specific country — including exports, imports, balance, and partners — without having to query and aggregate World Bank data yourself. Ideal for economic research agents, trade analysis dashboards, or any workflow needing country-level trade summaries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country_code returns an error
- No data available for the requested year returns empty or fallback response
- World Bank API unavailability may cause degraded results
- Missing required country_code parameter returns validation error
