## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability delivery-order-by-date-calculator-df797e3f
```

Example prompt: If I need flowers delivered by December 24th, what is the latest date I can place my order and will it still be on time?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to determine shipping cutoff dates, estimate delivery timelines, or validate whether on-time delivery is still achievable for a given service. Best suited for e-commerce order management, gift delivery planning, and logistics scheduling where knowing the exact order-by deadline is critical.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'input' object returns a validation error
- Invalid HTTP method (non-GET/HEAD/DELETE) returns a 422 error
- Service unavailability may return a 503 or timeout
- If the requested delivery date has already passed, on_time_possible may return false
