## 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 kihustle-cron-expression-explainer-a717e32f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you explain what the cron expression '0 9 * * 1-5' means in plain English — like when exactly it runs and how often?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, cheap ($0.002) way to convert a raw cron string into a human-readable explanation — ideal for developer tools, automation dashboards, or AI agents helping non-technical users understand scheduled tasks. Not appropriate for generating cron expressions from scratch or validating that a cron job actually ran.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed cron expression returns an error or unhelpful result
- Missing 'expression' field in request body may cause a 400 or generic failure
- Non-standard cron extensions (e.g. @reboot, @yearly macros) may not be supported
- Very complex expressions with L, W, or # modifiers may not parse correctly
