## 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 buildpulse-permit-guide-633bc1dc
```

Example prompt: What permits do I need to build a 400 sq ft addition in Denver, Colorado — including the fees, how long approval typically takes, and what inspection stages I'll need to pass?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a contractor or homeowner agent needs jurisdiction-specific permitting intelligence — including fees, timelines, and inspection checkpoints — before starting or planning a construction or renovation project. Prefer over generic web search when structured, actionable permit data is needed programmatically.

## Known failure modes

- Jurisdiction not recognized or not in coverage area — returns error or empty result
- Project type not supported — may return generic or null requirements
- Regulatory data may be outdated if jurisdiction recently changed codes
- Ambiguous location input may return results for wrong municipality
