## 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 canon-statistics-endpoint-947b9bd9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull statistics on childhood obesity rates in the US using Canon's research tool so I can verify the claims in this article?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to retrieve statistical data or quantitative evidence on a topic for fact-checking or academic research purposes, especially when paying per-query via USDC on Base is acceptable and the use case involves verifying or supporting claims with data.

## Known failure modes

- Missing 'topic' field returns a 400 validation error
- Ambiguous or unsupported topic may return success:false or empty data
- Payment failure (402) if USDC on Base is not provided or insufficient
- Timeout if the research backend is slow to respond
- Topic too broad may return low-quality or generic results
