## 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-sortino-ratio-calculator-58d85cf0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Calculate the Sortino ratio for these monthly returns [0.02, -0.01, 0.03, 0.015, -0.005, 0.04, 0.01, -0.02] using a risk-free rate of 0.001.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, affordable API call to compute the Sortino ratio for a portfolio or strategy's return series, especially in automated quant pipelines or agent-driven financial analysis workflows where Sharpe ratio is insufficient because downside risk is the primary concern.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty returns array returns an error or null result
- Non-numeric values in the returns array may cause computation failure
- All returns above the risk-free rate (no downside deviation) may result in division-by-zero or infinity
- Missing risk_free field may default to zero or return an error
- Malformed JSON body returns a 400-level error
