## 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-traditional-medicine-systems-guide-9f2fc409
```

Example prompt: Give me a comprehensive guide to Ayurvedic herbal medicine traditions — what are the foundational principles, the key herbs used, and what does the current evidence say about their effectiveness? Please respond in English.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs structured, evidence-informed overviews of a specific traditional medicine system (Ayurveda, TCM, Amazonian, African, Western herbalism, Indigenous) rather than a single herb profile or drug interaction check. Prefer this over a general web search when you need curated, PubMed-grounded information organized by tradition with multilingual support.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported tradition name returns empty or error response
- Rare or highly localized traditions may have limited coverage
- Language parameter not supported returns fallback to English
- Payment not completed via x402 returns 402 Payment Required
- Vague or misspelled tradition names may return partial results
