## 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 kiteendpoints-ai-tidecheck-4142dddb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the high and low tide times at Santa Cruz Beach today? I'm planning to go surfing in the morning.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick tide information for coastal planning activities such as surfing, fishing, boating, or beachcombing and want to pay per request without a subscription. Prefer this over free weather APIs when you need dedicated tidal data integrated into an agent workflow with crypto micropayment support.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported location returns an error or empty result
- Invalid date format may cause a failed lookup
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request
- Network timeout on the upstream tide data provider
- Ambiguous location name results in incorrect or no data
