## 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-day-trip-planner-e2257c0a
```

Example prompt: Can you put together a day-trip plan for Portland, Maine on Saturday July 19th — I'm starting from Boston, interested in seafood and local history, with a budget of around $100, open to driving up to 2.5 hours, and looking for a mix of outdoor and cultural experiences?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs a comprehensive, disposable day-trip planning brief for a specific destination or coordinate pair — especially when themed experience discovery, source freshness awareness, and actionable next steps are needed in a single call. Prefer over generic search when the user wants curated itinerary structure rather than raw search results, and when budget, transportation mode, and interest filtering are important inputs.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'destination' or lat/lon coordinate pair returns a 400 error
- Invalid date format results in a parsing error or fallback to today's date
- Overly broad radius with no interests may return generic or low-confidence candidates
- Payment not processed or x402 authentication failure returns 402 Payment Required
- Destination with sparse data coverage may return fewer local context leads or lower freshness scores

## How this service works

Day-trip planning awareness with disposable local context leads, themed experience candidates, source freshness, tradeoffs, and next actions for a destination or coordinate pair.

## Output

A structured day-trip planning brief containing themed experience candidates, local context leads with freshness signals, budget and tradeoff considerations, transportation strategy, and recommended next actions for the specified destination or coordinates.
