## 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 nyc-food-service-health-inspection-lookup-9241d9e1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the last 5 NYC health inspection results for Katz's Delicatessen — I want to see their scores, grades, and any violations?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative NYC Department of Health inspection data for a specific food establishment — including scores, letter grades, and violation details. It is ideal for pre-dining safety checks, vendor vetting, compliance research, or journalism. Use the CAMIS ID for precise lookups when available; use name + ZIP for discovery. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, machine-readable inspection records rather than user reviews or news articles.

## Known failure modes

- No establishment found matching the given name or ZIP code — returns empty result set
- Name query too short (under 2 characters) or too long (over 100 characters) — validation error
- Invalid ZIP code format (not exactly 5 digits) — validation error
- Invalid establishment_id (non-digit characters) — validation error
- Establishment exists in city records but has no inspection history yet — empty violations list
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — request rejected before processing
