## 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-skin-cosmetic-botanical-analysis-api-057121e2
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the HerbaPulse skin analysis for rosehip seed oil — I want to know its evidence-based skin benefits, safety profile for sensitive skin, and whether Ayurvedic or TCM traditions have any traditional use for it topically?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need evidence-based botanical analysis specifically for skin and cosmetic applications, combining PubMed scientific grounding with traditional medicine context (Ayurveda, TCM). Prefer this over generic herb profiles when the user's question is specifically about topical use, cosmetic formulation safety, or skin benefits of plant ingredients.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled botanical name returns empty or error response
- Herb with no cosmetic research may return sparse evidence data
- Missing required query parameter (herb name or ingredient) may return 400 error
- Payment not completed via x402 micropayment results in 402 Payment Required
- Language parameter typo may fall back to English silently
