## 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 autonomous-procurement-provider-recommender-e0f2cf28 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Without placing any order, recommend which provider would be eligible under our current procurement mandate — I need to know who qualifies before I commit to anything.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an autonomous agent needs to select a compliant vendor or provider under a procurement mandate before executing any purchase — ideal for pre-purchase decision support, regulated procurement pipelines, or agentic workflows that require a human-reviewable recommendation step before committing budget.

## Known failure modes

- No eligible provider found matching mandate criteria — returns empty or null recommendation
- Mandate constraints are too restrictive or ambiguous — returns validation error
- Input schema insufficient or missing required mandate fields — returns schema error
- Service unavailable or payment not accepted — returns 402 or 5xx error

## How this service works
