Example prompt: Can you run our new product tagline 'Made with 100% renewable energy and carbon neutral by 2030' through ESGPulse's greenwashing detector and tell me if it meets EU Green Claims Directive substantiation requirements, and whether similar claims have triggered any enforcement actions?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need claim-level greenwashing risk analysis against EU Green Claims Directive standards, including substantiation gaps and enforcement precedent — rather than broader ESG reporting, taxonomy alignment, or framework selection. Best suited for marketing teams, legal counsel, and compliance officers reviewing environmental messaging before publication.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty claim input returns an error indicating no content to analyze
- Claim text too vague or generic may yield low-confidence risk scoring
- EU Green Claims Directive rules may not apply to non-EU market claims, limiting relevance
- Network timeout or Vercel cold-start latency on infrequent calls
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response and no analysis returned

## Output
