## 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 ferc-wholesale-energy-market-compliance-brief-4e9ddba3
```

Example prompt: Give me a quick compliance brief on wholesale electricity and natural gas market rules — anything important that came out in the last 30 days with deadlines I should know about.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a concise, human-readable executive summary of FERC and wholesale energy/natural-gas market compliance obligations — rather than a raw list of Federal Register documents. Ideal for compliance officers, energy traders, or legal teams who want the key deadlines and actionable items surfaced without manually reading regulatory filings. Prefer this over the raw Federal Register feed endpoints when the user wants a digest rather than raw scored documents.

## Known failure modes

- No regulatory changes found in the requested window — brief may be minimal or empty
- Invalid since parameter format (must be ISO 8601 date-time) returns a 400 error
- Payment not completed or insufficient USDC balance results in 402 Payment Required
- LLM generation failure may fall back to template-based output (reflected in generatedBy field)
- Very recent timestamps may yield sparse results if Federal Register ingestion has latency

## How this service works

LLM-written compliance digest of the wholesale electricity & natural-gas markets rules in the window that actually matter (transmission, wholesale, interconnection, natural gas, rto) — issuing agency named, deadlines called out.

## Output

Returns a structured object containing: a plain-text LLM-written compliance digest (brief) highlighting the handful of FERC and wholesale energy market rules that actually matter in the requested window, a flag indicating whether the brief was generated by an LLM or a template (generatedBy), and the count of underlying Federal Register changes the brief is based on (basedOnChanges).
