Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 climatepulse-wildfire-smoke-air-quality-tracker-6624527c
```

Example prompt: Is there wildfire smoke affecting Portland, Oregon right now? I want to know the current AQI, whether there are active fires nearby, whether I should wear a mask, and if there are any evacuation orders in the area.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when the user's concern is specifically about wildfire smoke, active fires nearby, or smoke-driven air quality — as opposed to general AQI from urban pollution. It bundles evacuation status and actionable health guidance (mask use, staying indoors) alongside the AQI, making it ideal for safety-critical wildfire scenarios rather than routine air quality checks.

## Known failure modes

- Location not found or invalid coordinates — returns 400 or error body
- No smoke or fire data available for remote/unmonitored regions
- Stale fire data if upstream fire databases have not updated recently
- Payment not accepted — 402 response if USDC payment is not correctly attached
- Rate limit exceeded — 429 if too many calls in a short window

## How this service works

Is wildfire smoke affecting the air here right now? Smoke tracker — AQI estimate, nearby active fires, health risk level, mask and indoor-air guidance, and evacuation status for any location.

## Output

Returns a real-time wildfire smoke assessment including: AQI estimate for the queried location, list or count of nearby active fires, overall health risk level (e.g. good/moderate/unhealthy), specific mask-wearing recommendations, indoor air quality guidance, and current evacuation status or alerts.
