## 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 ni-biashara-carrier-safety-basics-lookup-52104c12
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the FMCSA carrier safety basics for DOT number 1234567 and tell me if they've exceeded any intervention thresholds?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, per-call, pay-as-you-go lookup of FMCSA BASIC safety scores for a specific US motor carrier by USDOT number, without needing a full FMCSA API subscription. Ideal for agent workflows doing carrier due diligence, compliance screening, or load routing decisions at scale.

## Known failure modes

- DOT number not found in FMCSA database — 'found' returns false
- Invalid or malformed DOT number format — input validation error
- FMCSA data source temporarily unavailable — upstream timeout
- Carrier has no SMS data yet (new or exempt carrier) — empty basics array

## How this service works

Structured African-currency FX data (official + parallel/street rates from live P2P order books, with history) and business services (Swahili localization, design, consulting, landing pages), sold per call to AI agents. Ni Biashara LLC, Dallas TX.

## Output

A JSON object containing a 'found' boolean, a list of BASIC category scores (each with category name, percentile, and exceeded_intervention_threshold flag), a 'flags' array for any triggered alerts, and an overall 'verdict' string (e.g. CLEAR or flagged status).
