## 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 ioswarm-io-policy-brief-generator-be450452 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you give me a policy brief on the current status of the Corporate Transparency Act — what it changes, who it affects, and what the main positions for and against it are?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, cited policy brief on a specific bill, regulation, or policy area — especially when you need stakeholder positions and impact analysis, not just a news summary. It is better than a news digest endpoint when you want analytical depth and citation rigor rather than a timeline of headlines. Use it when compliance teams, lobbyists, journalists, or researchers need a ready-to-share document rather than raw search results.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — run will not start
- Vague or ambiguous input question may yield a broad or unfocused brief
- Poll URL must be checked after 3–10 minutes; querying too early returns a pending status
- If the bill or policy area is too obscure or recent, citations may be limited
- Network or processing failures may result in a failed run with no report delivered

## How this service works

A brief on a bill, rule, or policy area: status, positions, what changes and for whom, cited. Pay $1.35 USDC per run; the response carries a run id and poll URL, the report lands in 3–10 minutes. No account needed — the paying wallet becomes the account and an API key is returned once.

## Output

An asynchronous policy brief returned via a poll URL, typically delivered in 3–10 minutes. The brief covers: current status of the bill or rule, stakeholder positions (supporters and opponents), what specifically changes and for whom, and cited sources. The immediate response includes a run ID and a URL to poll for the completed report.
