## 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 parentpulse-family-finance-intelligence-ada2334d
```

Example prompt: What will childcare realistically cost me for a 6-month-old in Austin, Texas, and how should I be budgeting and saving as a family of three with one income?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a user specifically needs child-related financial guidance — childcare costs, family budgeting, or education savings — rather than general personal finance. Best suited when the query involves parenting economics rather than investment advice, tax filing, or adult financial planning unrelated to children.

## Known failure modes

- Empty JSON example schema means response structure is undocumented and may vary
- Missing query parameters may return generic rather than location-specific cost data
- No schema validation means malformed or incomplete responses are possible
- Endpoint may not support all geographic regions equally
- At $0.12 per call, repeated polling for monitoring is cost-inefficient
