## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability brian-booms-time-zone-clock-078dee90
```

Example prompt: What's the current local time in America/Chicago right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs authoritative local time for any IANA time zone without relying on an external NTP or third-party time API — particularly useful for scheduling tasks, triggering time-sensitive broadcasts, or verifying market windows. Its local computation model means no upstream dependency to fail.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA time zone string returns an error
- Missing tz parameter may return server default or error
- Payment failure (402) if USDC payment not properly attached via x402 protocol

## How this service works

Use when an agent needs the current local time in any IANA time zone — scheduling posts, broadcasts, reminders, or market-window checks. Computed locally from the time zone database, no upstream to fail. Pass tz. Use permitted: build it into your products and services, paid or free. Raw redistribution of the feed itself is prohibited.

## Output

Returns the current local datetime for the requested IANA time zone, computed directly from the time zone database. Typically includes the formatted local time, UTC offset, and zone identifier.
