## 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 japan-address-validate-15c8d470 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you validate this Japanese address '東京都渋谷区神南1-19-4' using the parsed components and postal lookup result I already have, and tell me whether it's an exact match, partial match, or if there's a conflict — I need at least block-level precision (level 7)?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have already gathered multiple evidence sources (parsed address, postal lookup, geocoder output) and need a single authoritative quality decision for a Japanese address. It is the final arbitration step in a Japanese address verification pipeline, ideal when you need a structured confidence level (exact/partial/ambiguous/conflict/unverified) rather than a raw geocode or parse result. Prefer this over individual parse or geocode calls when data quality decisions, delivery routing, or compliance checks require a unified verdict.

## Known failure modes

- Conflicting evidence between parser, postal, and geocoder results in 'conflict' status rather than an error
- Missing or null evidence sources reduce confidence and may return 'unverified' status
- Addresses that only partially match the required hierarchy level return 'partial' status
- Malformed parsed or postal evidence objects return a 400 validation error
- Addresses below the required_level threshold are rejected even if internally consistent

## Output

Returns a validation status (exact, partial, ambiguous, conflict, or unverified) along with the accepted address hierarchy, the reasons for the decision, and details about which evidence sources agreed or conflicted.
