## 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 herbapulse-ingredient-safety-checker-e204d3fe
```

Example prompt: Can you check the safety of these ingredients in my herbal supplement — ashwagandha, valerian root, and passionflower — especially any drug interactions or risks I should know about?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to validate the safety of a specific set of herbal or botanical ingredients in a named product, especially when you want PubMed-grounded evidence and herb-drug interaction checks. Prefer this over general drug interaction checkers when the focus is on herbal, traditional, or botanical ingredients rather than pharmaceutical drugs.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unrecognized herb names may return empty profiles
- No response schema documented — output structure may vary
- Affiliate links may be unavailable for obscure botanicals
- Drug interaction data may be incomplete for very rare herbs
- Missing required 'ingredients' parameter returns an error
