## 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 arete-training-readiness-service-7174370d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Hey, can you check with Arete if I'm ready to train today and give me a motivational nudge to get started?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call training readiness or motivational fitness check — particularly when building fitness agents, coaching apps, or daily wellness routines that need a quick programmatic nudge. Prefer it over general-purpose LLM prompts when you want a dedicated, consistent fitness-readiness persona via a paid microservice.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'input' field returns validation error
- Invalid method enum value (not POST/PUT/PATCH) causes rejection
- Malformed body type enum causes request failure
- Upstream service unavailable returns 5xx error
- Payment not provided or insufficient returns 402 Payment Required
