## 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 osf-consumer-protection-search-8fd7dffd
```

Example prompt: Search US consumer protection records for 'Takata airbag recall' — I want to see any NHTSA recalls, CPSC actions, CFPB complaints, or FDA enforcement that mention it, with provenance links.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single keyword search across multiple US consumer protection authorities (CFPB, NHTSA, CPSC, FDA) simultaneously, especially for consumer risk assessments, product safety due diligence, compliance screening, or investigative research requiring provenance-stamped public records. Prefer over individual agency APIs when you need cross-domain coverage in one call.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for obscure or misspelled keywords
- Keyword too broad returns noisy or irrelevant records
- Dataset may not reflect the most recent enforcement actions
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting or timeout if query hits multiple upstream sources simultaneously

## How this service works

Search US consumer protection data by keyword: financial complaints (CFPB), vehicle recalls (NHTSA), product safety recalls (CPSC), and FDA recall enforcement for drugs, devices, and food (openFDA, full history since 2004). Returns product/company, complaint or recall details, dates, and a provenance URL per match. For consumer risk, product safety, and compliance agents.

## Output

A list of matched records across CFPB, NHTSA, CPSC, and openFDA datasets, each including product/company name, complaint or recall details, relevant dates, and a provenance URL linking back to the original authoritative source.
