## 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 locus-local-legislation-property-scan-34429c6b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Run a Locus property scan on 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield, IL 62704 — I want to see any local records, parcel rules, or risk signals that could affect what I can do with that property or what it might cost me.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost preliminary scan of local records and regulatory signals for a specific US property or ZIP code — especially before deeper due diligence, investment decisions, or development planning. It is particularly useful when a full street address is available for parcel-level precision, but also works at ZIP code granularity for area-level screening.

## Known failure modes

- Address not recognized or cannot be geocoded to a US parcel — returns empty records array
- ZIP code outside supported coverage area — may return empty or limited results
- Malformed input (missing both address and zip) — likely returns validation error
- Service downtime or upstream data source unavailability — may return error or partial data
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — request not processed

## How this service works

Recent property-relevant local legislation preview for an address. Perfect for: recent zoning bills, local ADU / short-term rental laws, property tax bills enacted. Returns a headline enacted/watch item via LegiScan plus official Legistar where wired. Paid full output adds snippets, status history, attachments, and agent next-tool hints. Not legal advice. Charge-free when unresolved or no substantive answer.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a scan ID, a list of local records relevant to the property, parcel-level rules and restrictions, risk signals, a generatedAt timestamp, and any applicable caveats about data completeness or freshness.
