## 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 halowerk-atlantic-land-ireland-soil-sand-fraction-0-5-cm-b721f4d6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the mean sand fraction in the top 5 cm of soil at latitude 53.3498, longitude -6.2603 in Ireland?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need SoilGrids sand fraction data specifically for locations within Ireland and want built-in geographic boundary validation before incurring any cost. It is ideal for agriculture, land assessment, construction planning, or environmental classification workflows focused on Irish territory. Prefer this over general-purpose SoilGrids APIs when you need pay-per-call micro-pricing and automatic Ireland-boundary enforcement.

## Known failure modes

- Coordinate outside Ireland boundary — rejected before payment with a validation error
- Coordinate within European coverage bounds but outside Ireland — returns a boundary rejection error
- Missing or malformed latitude/longitude — returns a 400-level validation error
- Coordinate at sea or on a water body with no soil data — may return null or an error
- Network or upstream SoilGrids data unavailability — returns a 5xx error

## How this service works

Mean SoilGrids sand fraction for the 0-5 cm layer. The coordinate is validated against the Natural Earth boundary for Ireland; results outside it are rejected before payment.

## Output

A numeric mean sand fraction value (as a proportion or percentage) for the 0–5 cm soil depth at the specified coordinate, sourced from SoilGrids and validated to fall within Ireland's boundary. Requests with coordinates outside Ireland are rejected before payment is processed.
