## 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 collectablespulse-card-grading-advisor-0e0b3c04
```

Example prompt: I have a 2003 LeBron James Topps Chrome rookie card in what looks like near-mint condition — is it worth grading, and if so, should I send it to PSA or BGS? I want to know the cost and how long it'll take.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a collector or investor agent needs to decide whether to submit a specific collectible for professional grading and which service to use. Prefer this over generic price-check endpoints when the question is specifically about grading ROI, service selection (PSA vs BGS vs CGC vs PCGS vs NGC), cost, or turnaround time rather than current market value alone.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized or too-vague collectible description returns no actionable recommendation
- Niche or hyper-local collectibles may lack sufficient population data for value-add assessment
- Rapidly changing grading service pricing or turnaround times may lag real-time updates
- Missing collectible type or condition estimate may reduce recommendation accuracy
