## 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-nutrition-guidance-api-bef3fd94
```

Example prompt: What should my 14-month-old toddler be eating each day — how many meals, what foods, and how much iron and calcium do they actually need at this age?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, evidence-based pediatric nutrition guidance organized by child age or developmental stage. It is best suited for parenting agents, family health assistants, or apps that need structured dietary information without building their own content database. Prefer this over general nutrition APIs when child-specific, age-aware guidance is required.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or unrecognized child age parameter may return empty or generic results
- Highly specific medical dietary needs (e.g. allergies, chronic illness) may not be covered
- Response schema is sparse and undocumented, so field names and structure may be inconsistent
- Payment failure (402) if x402 micropayment is not properly handled
- Rate limiting or downtime on Vercel hosting
