## 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 carbon-cashmere-ai-price-impact-sol-9d4ec6bd
```

Example prompt: What's the estimated price impact and slippage if I buy $50,000 worth of SOL right now — give me a full depth breakdown and tell me whether I should execute immediately or split the order.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, AI-narrated price-impact assessment for SOL specifically — particularly when a user wants a plain-English execution verdict alongside raw depth metrics. Prefer this over generic order book APIs when you need the 'should I split this trade?' recommendation layer baked in. Best for agentic trading assistants that need to justify execution decisions conversationally.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported coin symbol returns an error
- Missing or invalid usd query parameter returns a 400-level error
- Upstream liquidity data unavailable causes stale or failed response
- Payment not authorized via x402 protocol returns 402 Payment Required
- Extreme market conditions may yield indicative-only estimates with high uncertainty
