## 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 grid-demand-response-mcp-d7e10cef -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Process this grid demand response event — here's the signal payload from our utility operator indicating a peak demand curtailment window starting now: '{"event_id":"DR-2024-0512","type":"curtailment","level":"high","duration_minutes":60}'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically process utility or ISO grid demand response events and signals within an agentic workflow, particularly for smart building automation, energy management systems, or grid participant compliance. Best suited for real-time demand response event handling rather than historical energy analytics or static reporting.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or empty data string returns a parsing error
- Invalid demand response signal format causes processing failure
- Missing required event fields results in a validation error
- Upstream grid data service unavailability returns a 503 or timeout
- Payment failure (x402) prevents endpoint access

## How this service works
