## 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 money-openverbs-com-currency-formatter-1c2700b0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Format 1299.99 as US dollars using the en-US locale with the standard currency symbol.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need locale-aware, minor-unit-correct currency formatting without implementing Intl yourself — especially useful in agent workflows that handle multiple currencies and locales and need reliable, consistent display strings. Prefer it over ad-hoc string formatting when you need to support currencies with non-standard decimal places (like JPY or KWD) or when you need flexible display modes (symbol vs ISO code vs full name).

## Known failure modes

- Unknown ISO 4217 currency code returns a clean 400 error
- Invalid or unsupported BCP-47 locale returns a clean 400 error
- Amount not provided returns a validation error
- Currency code not exactly 3 characters returns a 400 error

## How this service works

Format a numeric amount as currency for a given locale using Intl, honouring the currency's own minor-unit convention (USD→2, JPY→0). display selects the symbol, narrow symbol, ISO code or full name. An unknown currency or locale is a clean 400.

## Output

A formatted currency string that respects the currency's minor-unit convention (e.g. '¥1,299' for JPY with zero decimals, '$1,299.99' for USD with two decimals), rendered according to the specified locale and display style (symbol, narrowSymbol, code, or name). Returns HTTP 400 for unknown or invalid currency codes or locales.
