## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability cost-plus-drugs-medication-price-lookup-d1bbcfe0
```

Example prompt: What's the Cost Plus Drugs cash price for atorvastatin 20mg? I want to see the 30, 60, and 90-count pack prices including the dispensing fee and shipping.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need verified, real-time cash prices specifically from Cost Plus Drugs (Mark Cuban's low-cost mail-order pharmacy), including dispensing fee breakdowns and shipping totals. Prefer this over generic drug-price aggregators when the user explicitly wants Cost Plus Drugs pricing or wants to compare the CPD transparent-pricing model. Best for uninsured patients, price-conscious consumers, or agents building medication cost comparison tools focused on the mail-order channel.

## Known failure modes

- Drug not found on Cost Plus Drugs mail-order channel — returns empty results array with count 0
- NDC not recognized — returns empty results even if equivalent generics exist under a different NDC
- Neither 'term' nor 'ndc' provided — likely returns an error or empty response
- Drug is listed but out of stock — returned with inStock: false
- Upstream Cost Plus Drugs API unavailable — may return a 5xx or timeout error
- Strength filter too specific — returns 0 results if strength string doesn't exactly match available options
