## 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 invoket-legal-history-french-eu-law-version-timeline-53f0e723
```

Example prompt: Give me the complete version history of French LEGI article L1234-5 — every version, its status (in force, repealed, superseded, or deferred), and the exact dates it was valid, so I can see exactly when it changed.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the complete chronological version history of a French or EU legal article — not just its current status, but every past version with precise validity dates and status labels. Prefer this over single-status endpoints when you need to audit legislative history, detect amendments, or determine exactly when a law changed.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or malformed article identifier returns an error or empty result
- Article not found in LEGI/CELEX/ELI database returns 404 or empty timeline
- Payment not settled (x402 protocol failure) blocks the response
- Network timeout for slow upstream legal database queries
- Unsupported identifier type (neither French LEGI nor EU CELEX/ELI) returns validation error

## How this service works

Before your agent relies on a stored legal citation or watches a provision for change: the full version timeline of a French or EU article — each version's status (in force, repealed, superseded, deferred) and validity dates, from the official LEGI and EUR-Lex datasets — to detect exactly when it changed. Covers 12 major French codes and statutes and key EU acts (GDPR, DSA, AI Act, MiCA and more).

## Output

An ordered timeline of all versions of the specified French or EU legal article, each entry including the version's status (in force, repealed, superseded, or deferred) and its start/end validity dates, enabling precise identification of when each change occurred.
