## 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 legal-402box-io-9fe8ff06 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I'm launching a crypto payment startup and need to understand which US states require a money transmitter license, roughly how much each costs, and how long the application process takes — can you map that out for me including any key EU or Asian licensing I should know about?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured overview of money transmitter or payment institution licensing requirements across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously, especially when you need cost and timeline estimates alongside regulatory requirements. Prefer this over general legal search tools when the query is specifically about MTL, EU PI licenses, or Asian payment licensing for fintech or crypto payment businesses.

## Known failure modes

- Vague query returns generic overview rather than jurisdiction-specific detail
- Highly niche or newly enacted regulations may not be reflected in training data
- Agent response may not reflect the most recent regulatory changes or fee schedules
- Missing or malformed 'message' field returns error
- Service may return success:false with no response data on internal agent failure
