## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability context-agentutil-net-ffcf5faa -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I send this marketing email campaign targeting customers in New Zealand, check whether today — December 25 — is a good time to send it, given NZ holidays and business hours in the Pacific/Auckland timezone.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to decide whether it is contextually appropriate to take an action — particularly time-sensitive ones like sending emails, deploying code, or running campaigns — and needs to cross-check timezone, national holidays across 11 countries, business calendar, and live platform status in a single call rather than calling separate APIs.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported country code returns an error or empty holiday data
- Unknown platform name may return no status data
- Invalid IANA timezone string causes a validation error
- Malformed ISO 8601 date returns a parsing error
- Platform status APIs being unreachable may return stale or unavailable status
- Missing required fields like country or timezone may produce incomplete results

## How this service works

Should I take this action right now? Checks timezone, holidays, business calendar, and platform status across 11 countries before sending emails, deploying code, or running campaigns

## Output

Returns a contextual assessment indicating whether the action is appropriate to take right now, including timezone info, whether today is a holiday or outside business hours in the target country, and current operational status of any specified platform (e.g. GitHub, AWS, Stripe).
