## 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 fmcsa-carrier-inspection-crash-summary-f287bba0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the inspection and crash summary for carrier USDOT number 2345678 — I need the roadside inspection counts, driver and vehicle out-of-service rates, BASIC violations, and recordable crashes over the last 730 days.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need raw inspection, violation, and crash counts for a specific carrier identified by USDOT number — particularly for carrier vetting, compliance audits, or risk scoring. Prefer this over lookup_carrier when your primary concern is safety performance data (inspections, OOS rates, BASIC violations, crashes) rather than general carrier profile information. If you don't have a USDOT number yet, use search_carriers first.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown USDOT number returns a not-found response at no charge
- Invalid or non-integer USDOT number may cause a validation error
- Carrier with no inspection history may return zero counts across all fields
- Network or service timeout from the upstream FMCSA data source
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.02 charge

## How this service works

Use this for a carrier's roadside inspection, violation and crash counts: inspections, driver and vehicle out-of-service rates, violations by BASIC (24-month SMS window), and recordable crashes over the trailing 730 days. Counts, not a rating. Billed whenever the USDOT number resolves; an unknown number is free.

## Output

Returns counts of total inspections, driver out-of-service events and rate, vehicle out-of-service events and rate, violations broken down by BASIC category (within the 24-month SMS window), and total recordable crashes over the trailing 730 days. An unknown USDOT number returns a free response indicating the number was not found; a valid USDOT number triggers the $0.02 USDC billing.
