## 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 mining-incidents-msha-fatality-record-lookup-0a67cf8d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull up the MSHA fatality record with ID 4521 from the Mining Incidents database — I need the full accident details and investigator narrative.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific MSHA numeric accident or fatality ID and need the full record details including narrative. Prefer this over search-based endpoints when you already know the ID. Use sibling endpoints for mine profiles, operator dossiers, or browsing the fatality feed when you don't have a specific ID.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent MSHA ID returns a 404 or empty result
- Numeric ID formatted incorrectly (e.g. non-numeric string) may cause a 400 bad request
- Record may exist but have limited fields if it is a preliminary/open notice
- Payment of 0.005 USDC required per call via x402 protocol; failure to pay results in 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or server errors may return 5xx responses
