## 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 openweather-weather-overview-a24242c3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Give me a natural language weather overview for New York City (40.7128, -74.0060) today in metric units — something I can read aloud.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a human-friendly, narrative weather summary rather than raw structured weather data. It is ideal for voice assistants, chatbots, or any agent that needs to relay weather conditions in plain English. Use it over Current Weather or Forecast endpoints when the output must be immediately readable without further formatting.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid latitude or longitude outside allowed range returns an error
- Date specified beyond today or tomorrow returns an error as it is unsupported
- Missing required lat or lon fields returns a validation error
- Invalid units value returns a bad request error
- Network or upstream OpenWeatherMap API outage returns a 5xx error
