## 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 incoterms-2020-responsibility-split-fc3c9873
```

Example prompt: Can you tell me who pays for what under CIF — specifically which costs the seller covers, which the buyer covers, and where the risk transfers?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a deterministic, authoritative breakdown of Incoterms 2020 cost and risk responsibilities without manually consulting ICC documentation. Ideal for contract review workflows, logistics cost modeling, compliance checking, or training content generation where a structured machine-readable cost split is needed rather than a prose explanation.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported Incoterm code returns a validation error — only EXW, FCA, FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP, DDP are accepted
- Missing required 'incoterm' query parameter results in a 400-level error
- Non-GET methods are rejected

## How this service works

Who pays/bears risk for each leg under an Incoterm.

## Output

Returns structured JSON with the Incoterm queried, an array of costs/obligations borne by the seller, an array of costs/obligations borne by the buyer, a description of the risk transfer point, and an as-of date for the Incoterms version.
