## 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-greenwashing-risk-detector-ab8786f8
```

Example prompt: Can you check our product marketing copy for greenwashing risk? The claim is: 'Our packaging is 100% eco-friendly and carbon neutral' — I need to know if it passes EU Green Claims Directive standards and whether we have enough substantiation to back it up.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to validate marketing or sustainability claims specifically against EU Green Claims Directive standards and greenwashing risk criteria, especially when enforcement precedent and substantiation guidance are needed. Prefer this over generic compliance tools when the focus is on environmental/green marketing claims rather than full ESG disclosure or financial taxonomy alignment.

## Known failure modes

- Missing claim text input returns 400 error
- Overly vague claims may return low-confidence assessments
- Non-EU regulatory contexts may have limited coverage
- Payment not received returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting if too many calls in quick succession
