## 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 hirepulse-vendor-stability-evaluator-8bcc8081 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a vendor stability evaluation on stripe.com and tell me how healthy and reliable they look as a long-term business partner?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a deep, holistic stability assessment of a vendor's business health — not just contact verification or tech stack lookup. At $0.10 per call it is the most expensive HirePulse endpoint, appropriate for high-stakes procurement decisions, contract due diligence, or before establishing a critical dependency on a third-party vendor. Prefer it over simpler B2B contact or tech stack checks when long-term viability and risk are the primary concern.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found or unresolvable — likely returns empty result with no charge
- Domain too short or malformed (under 4 chars or over 253 chars) — validation error
- Vendor has no detectable web presence — empty result returned at $0
- Upstream data sources unavailable — may return partial or degraded assessment
- Rate limit exceeded beyond 5 free daily calls — payment required via x402
