## 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 oneshot-agent-api-market-federal-labor-rates-lookup-60c1f2f6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the federal government contract labor rates for a software engineer role? Show me up to 20 results, filtered to candidates with at least 3 years of experience and a bachelor's degree.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need actual US federal government contract labor rate benchmarks — especially for proposal writing, cost estimation, compensation benchmarking, or negotiation preparation. It is uniquely suited for federal contracting contexts (GSA schedules, IDIQ contracts) and provides both granular per-contractor records and statistical summaries. Prefer this over generic salary APIs when the use case specifically involves government contract pricing or compliance with federal wage standards.

## Known failure modes

- Role keyword returns no matches if the search term doesn't match any labor category, contractor name, or contract number
- Overly restrictive education + experience filters can return zero results
- Result set may include rates for roles only loosely related to the keyword since matching is keyword-based across multiple fields
- Payment failure if insufficient USDC balance on Base
- Rate data may be outdated if contracts have expired or been modified since last data refresh

## How this service works

Look up the ceiling hourly rates federal contractors have agreed, by keyword.

## Output

Returns an array of individual contractor rate records (role, worksite, education, contractor name, business size, contract dates, hourly rate, clearance requirement) plus an aggregate summary with count, low, high, median, and average hourly rates in USD across all matching records.
