## 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 forgemesh-active-tornado-alerts-edab16df -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull all tornado warnings and watches currently active anywhere in the US — I need the affected counties, severity, urgency, and the full official alert text for each one.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, authoritative US tornado alert data sourced directly from the official government feed. Prefer this over general weather APIs when you specifically need tornado warning/watch status with county-level granularity and full official alert text — ideal for emergency notification agents, logistics rerouting based on severe weather, outdoor event safety checks, or any workflow that needs to act on tornado activity.

## Known failure modes

- No active tornado alerts (legitimately empty response — not an error)
- Payment failure due to insufficient USDC balance
- Network timeout if NWS feed is temporarily unavailable
- Stale data if upstream government feed is delayed

## How this service works

All tornado warnings and tornado watches currently in effect anywhere in the United States, with the specific counties/zones affected, severity, urgency, and the full official US government alert feed alert text. For emergency-notification agents, logistics rerouting, and outdoor-event safety logic. Legitimately empty when no tornado activity is occurring.

## Output

A list of all currently active tornado warnings and tornado watches in the US, each with the specific counties or zones affected, severity and urgency classifications, and the complete official NWS alert text. Returns an empty list when no tornado activity is occurring.
