## 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 leadsforge-search-count-b66c09cb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: How many leads are available for VP-level or C-suite contacts at software companies with 200–1000 employees in the United States, excluding anyone in HR?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you want to validate or tune search filter criteria before committing to a full (more expensive) lead data retrieval. Ideal for estimating market size, checking audience reach for campaigns, or iterating on Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) filters without paying for full result sets. Prefer this over the full search endpoint whenever the goal is sizing, not data retrieval.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid filter structure (mismatched include/exclude array types) returns a validation error
- Overly restrictive filters may return a count of zero with no error
- Conflicting include/exclude values for the same field may produce unexpected zero counts
- Missing required fields in filter objects may cause a 400 bad request
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Count the number of results matching search filters without returning the actual data.
