## 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 federal-contract-intelligence-lookup-f92abf4a
```

Example prompt: Pull the top 5 federal contract awards for Raytheon from the last 3 fiscal years — contracts only, not grants.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, structured federal award data for a named company without setting up a USASpending.gov API key or account. Ideal for due diligence, competitive intelligence, and procurement research on specific contractors or grantees. Prefer this over manual USASpending queries when operating inside an AI agent workflow with x402 micropayment capability.

## Known failure modes

- Company name not found in USASpending database — returns empty results or closest match
- Ambiguous company name matches multiple entities — may return results for wrong entity
- USASpending API rate limit or downtime — returns 5xx or timeout error
- Invalid award_type enum value — schema validation error
- years_back or top_n out of allowed range (1–10) — schema validation error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — 402 response, no data returned
