## 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 clearcheck-federal-register-monitor-b2a8af26
```

Example prompt: Search the Federal Register for any rules or proposed rules published in the last 60 days on telehealth — show me which agencies are involved, which are final vs proposed, and what's not yet in effect.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to monitor or research U.S. federal regulatory activity on a specific topic — particularly when you need to distinguish final rules from proposed rules, identify which agencies are active, or track upcoming effective dates. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, authoritative Federal Register data with a compliance-oriented verdict rather than raw search results.

## Known failure modes

- No documents found for an obscure or misspelled topic — returns empty document list
- Federal Register API unavailable — endpoint may return 5xx or timeout
- Invalid document type enum value — schema validation error
- Very broad topics may return large result sets that exceed payload limits
- Lookback window set too short may miss relevant documents

## How this service works

Federal Register activity on a topic: what published recently, final vs proposed, which agencies, what takes effect.

## Output

Returns a structured summary including: total document count, counts of final rules, proposed rules, and not-yet-effective items; a list of individual documents with title, type, publishing agency, abstract, publish date, and effective date; top agencies by activity; upcoming effective dates; key signals; a plain-language verdict; and a disclaimer about data freshness.
