## 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-property-scan-noise-proximity-records-6d799183 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a Locus property scan on 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield, IL — I want to see what public records say about noise and proximity issues and what still needs to be verified before I make an offer?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, free first-pass scan of public records and parcel rules for a specific property — particularly to surface noise and proximity signals before deeper due diligence. It is ideal as an early-stage screening step rather than a comprehensive title or environmental report.

## Known failure modes

- Address not found or not geocodable — returns empty records with caveats indicating no coverage
- Coordinates out of valid range — validation error on latitude/longitude bounds
- Address string too short or malformed — schema validation rejection
- No local records available for jurisdiction — returns empty records array with explanatory caveats
- Service unavailable or timeout — HTTP 5xx error with no result body

## How this service works

Research one property or compare a shortlist before a showing, offer, project, or tax appeal. Run free public-record checks, then buy deeper x402 reports with ready-to-run next steps.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a scan ID, list of public-record findings keyed to the property, open questions that remain unanswered, caveats about data coverage, and a timestamp for when the report was generated.
