## 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 fanpulse-sorting-hat-personality-based-franchise-character-matching-a37a635a
```

Example prompt: Sort me into my Hogwarts house, Jedi or Sith side, Fellowship role, and Starfleet division — I'm loyal, cautious, prefer working behind the scenes, and love learning ancient history.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user wants to discover which fictional faction, house, or role they belong to across major franchises based on their personality. Prefer this over generic trivia or character lookup endpoints when the user is asking 'which X am I' rather than 'tell me about X'.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or ambiguous personality input returns an error or generic fallback assignment
- Unsupported franchise requested returns an error or is omitted from results
- Malformed request returns a 400 error
- Payment not fulfilled returns a 402 Payment Required response
