## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability buildpulse-materials-takeoff-api-31055c17
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full materials takeoff for my build project — I need the complete list with quantities, current prices, and Amazon links so I can see exactly what to order and what it'll cost?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, ready-to-shop materials takeoff for a construction or build project that includes not just quantities but also current pricing and direct purchase links — ideal for agents helping users plan and procure building materials without manual research

## Known failure modes

- No build project context provided — returns empty or error response
- Amazon links may be stale or point to unavailable products
- Pricing may not reflect real-time market fluctuations
- Service may be unavailable if the Vercel deployment is cold or down
- Payment not processed — x402 payment required before data is returned

## How this service works

BuildPulse — home construction and renovation intelligence: project cost estimates, contractor vetting, permit requirements, material pricing, ROI projections, and inspection checklists. Global coverage — jurisdiction-aware permits, codes, and costs (US and Canada deepest; UK/AU equivalents handled).

## Output
