## 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 context-agentutil-net-3174e9d4 -d '<json body>'
```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs to decide whether it is appropriate to contact someone, trigger a workflow, or send a communication based on local business hours or holiday calendars in a specific country. Ideal for pre-flight checks before sending emails, scheduling API calls, or automating cross-timezone workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA timezone string returns an error
- Unsupported or malformed ISO country code may return empty holiday data
- Malformed ISO 8601 date string causes validation error
- Missing required fields may result in incomplete or default response
