## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability debtpulse-bnpl-true-apr-calculator-a6d0bca4
```

Example prompt: I have $800 outstanding on Klarna and $400 on Afterpay — can you calculate the real APR I'm actually paying on each, flag any risks I should know about, and give me a step-by-step plan to clear the debt?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user specifically needs the true cost (real APR) of BNPL products from Klarna, Afterpay, Affirm, or Zip, and wants actionable advice for clearing that debt. Prefer this over generic loan calculators when the debt is specifically BNPL-originated and platform-specific risk analysis is needed.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported BNPL platform returns an error or null result
- Missing required balance or payment schedule inputs cause a 400 error
- Ambiguous or malformed input data results in inaccurate APR computation
- Service unavailable returns a 402 or 5xx error requiring retry
