## 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 expansion-402box-io-154f747b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I'm planning to hire two full-time engineers in Poland and one contractor in Argentina — can you help me figure out whether I should use an employer-of-record or set up local entities, what the key employment law risks are in each country, and how to structure payroll and timezone overlap for a team based in San Francisco?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need strategic, conversational AI guidance on international remote hiring decisions — particularly when navigating contractor vs. employee tradeoffs, multi-country payroll setup, employment law compliance, or remote culture for globally distributed teams. Prefer this over static legal databases when you need synthesized, scenario-specific recommendations rather than raw legal text.

## Known failure modes

- Vague or overly broad question results in generic advice without country-specific depth
- Highly niche local regulations may be incomplete or outdated due to LLM knowledge cutoff
- Request missing country or employment type context may yield less actionable guidance
- Network or service timeout returning a non-success response
