## 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 chronicapulse-obituary-research-ba7e100d
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the obituary for Margaret Eleanor Hoffmann who died around 1923 in Cincinnati, Ohio — I need the survivor names and any genealogical details from historical newspaper archives.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs obituary-specific data (death notices, survivor lists, family relationships at time of death) from historical newspaper archives for genealogy or family-history research, as opposed to general person search or vital records lookup.

## Known failure modes

- Person not found in digitized newspaper archives — returns empty result or 404
- Ambiguous name match returns multiple possible obituaries requiring disambiguation
- Date or location too imprecise to narrow results — partial or multiple matches returned
- Obituary exists but source newspaper not yet digitized — no result available
- Payment not processed — 402 Payment Required response blocking access
