## 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 opportunity-signal-api-federal-funding-decision-brief-5fbcdfe7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a funding decision brief on Grants.gov opportunity 415892? We're a mid-sized nonprofit focused on workforce development in rural Appalachia with 10 years of federal contracting experience, and our eligibility class is nonprofit organization.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent or user needs a structured go/no-go recommendation for a specific, identified US federal funding opportunity rather than a broad search across opportunities. It is ideal when the Grants.gov opportunity ID is already known and the user wants a scored, risk-annotated brief with competitive intelligence rather than a simple eligibility checklist or opportunity discovery search.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-numeric opportunity_id returns a validation error
- Profile text exceeding 800 characters is rejected
- Eligibility string exceeding 160 characters is rejected
- Opportunity not found on Grants.gov returns a not-found or empty result
- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 wallet payment results in a 402 Payment Required response
- USAspending.gov data unavailable for a given opportunity returns dataStatus: incomplete in competition assessment

## How this service works

Wallet-paid decision intelligence for finding live US federal funding opportunities.
