## 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 esgpulse-commodity-sustainability-certification-check-3fdcc6ee
```

Example prompt: Can you check if 'Wild Pacific Salmon Co' is sustainably certified for seafood — I want to know their MSC or Seafood Watch status and whether there are any red flags?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify the sustainability certification status of a specific commodity product or brand across the major recognized certification schemes (MSC, RSPO, FSC, Seafood Watch, ETP, Better Cotton). It is purpose-built for supply chain due diligence, ESG screening, and procurement compliance for the five supported commodity categories. Prefer it over generic ESG score lookups when the question is specifically about recognized third-party certification status rather than overall ESG scoring.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unrecognized brand/product returns no certification data
- Commodity type not in supported set (seafood, palm oil, tea, timber, cotton) may return an error or empty result
- Outdated certification data if a brand's certification has recently lapsed
- Network or upstream data source unavailability causing timeout or partial response
- Ambiguous brand names with multiple matches may return incorrect results

## How this service works

ESGPulse delivers real-time ESG intelligence: CSRD compliance roadmaps, EU Taxonomy alignment checks, supply chain due diligence, emissions analysis, greenwashing risk, and more. x402 micropayment API.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a verdict with a rating (e.g. 'certified-and-clear'), the commodity type, the product or brand name, an array of certification statuses each listing the certifier and status, and a sustainability rating context object with rating context and any red flags.
