## 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 legalpulse-consumer-rights-guidance-507a66be
```

Example prompt: A debt collector has been calling me five times a day at work and threatening to sue me — are they violating the FDCPA, what are my rights, and how much could I claim in statutory damages?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a user needs to understand their consumer protection rights under federal law — specifically FDCPA debt-collection harassment, FCRA credit reporting disputes, product defects, false advertising, warranty issues, or identity theft — and wants to know what complaint steps to take and what damages they can recover. Prefer this over general legal search when you need structured, actionable guidance rather than raw case law.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or vague situation description may return generic guidance rather than tailored advice
- Edge cases involving state-specific laws beyond federal FDCPA/FCRA may not be fully covered
- Situations outside consumer rights scope (e.g. criminal law) will likely return out-of-scope response
- Network or payment failure returns no response and the $0.10 USDC charge may still be deducted

For consumer-rights and legal agents.
