## 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`):

Example prompt: I'm thinking about buying a power washer but I only use it maybe 3 or 4 times a year — can you run a rent-vs-buy break-even analysis for a power washer in Austin, TX and tell me if it's actually worth purchasing or if I should just keep renting one?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user is deciding whether to purchase or rent a physical item and wants a data-driven cost comparison based on how often they'll use it and where they're located. Prefer this over generic shopping or product-recommendation endpoints when the core question is economic (rent vs. buy decision) rather than which product to purchase.

## Known failure modes

- Item not recognized or too obscure to find rental data for
- Location not serviceable or no rental providers found nearby
- Insufficient usage frequency data to compute a meaningful break-even
- API returns 402 if payment is not properly handled
- Rate limiting or timeout if the service is under load

## How this service works

Should I rent or buy, rent vs buy, is it worth buying, where to rent. For shopping and personal-finance agents: takes an item, location, and frequency of use and returns a rent-vs-buy break-even analysis with a real cost comparison and where to rent equipment and goods.

## Output

The agent receives a break-even analysis showing the cost of renting versus buying the specified item given the usage frequency and location, including a recommendation on which option is more economical and a list of nearby places where the item can be rented.
