## 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 basic-utils-agent-day-of-week-6d4ddc2a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What day of the week does July 4, 2026 fall on?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, reliable lookup of the day of the week for any given date or datetime. It is ideal for calendar-aware agents, scheduling assistants, or any workflow that needs to determine weekday vs weekend or validate a meeting/event date. Prefer this over general-purpose LLM reasoning for authoritative, deterministic results.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing date input returns an error (date field is required for this operation)
- Malformed datetime string not conforming to ISO 8601 format may cause a validation error
- Null date with no fallback default may result in a 400 or empty response
- Payment failure (402) if USDC micropayment is not processed correctly via x402 protocol

## How this service works

## Output
