## 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-operator-safety-dossier-c6c051b8
```

Example prompt: Pull up the full MSHA safety dossier for operator 0125574 from Mining Incidents — I want to see their fatality count, total penalties paid, number of mines, and any fatal accident details.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a single operator's complete MSHA compliance and safety profile in one call — covering identity, all mines, aggregate violation and penalty totals, and fatality events. Prefer this over mine-level endpoints when the user is researching the operator as an entity (e.g. for due diligence, ESG screening, or journalism). It is refreshed weekly from MSHA data going back to 1983, making it appropriate for historical compliance research as well as current safety assessment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent operator ID returns empty or error response
- Operator with no recorded incidents returns zero counts but still a valid response
- Rate limiting or payment failure for the $0.02 USDC per call fee
- Stale data between weekly refreshes if a very recent incident occurred
- Operator ID format mismatch (wrong padding or length) causing a not-found response

## How this service works

Mining Incidents is a free, searchable database and research tool covering every reportable US mining incident on file with MSHA. Search by mine, operator, controller, state, year, severity, or any keyword in the investigator's narrative. 1983 to present, refreshed weekly.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the operator's identity (name, ID), aggregate safety statistics (mine count, accident count, citation count, S&S count, fatality count), financial compliance totals (penalty proposed and paid in USD), a list of fatality events with mine name, state, commodity, event date, and classification, plus a link to the human-readable operator page on miningincidents.org.
