## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability autopulse-diy-auto-repair-guide-31decedd
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up a full DIY repair guide for replacing the water pump on a 2017 Honda Accord — I want the step-by-step procedure, the parts I'll need, which tools to get, and a rough cost estimate?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a user wants actionable, vehicle-specific DIY repair instructions including parts, tools, and cost — not just a general diagnosis or recall lookup. Prefer over generic automotive Q&A when structured procedure output and cost estimation are needed.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported vehicle make/model/year returns an error or empty result
- Vague repair description may return a generic procedure not specific to the vehicle
- Repair too complex or specialized may return incomplete steps
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) returns 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout for complex repair lookups
