## 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 party-event-planner-ice-estimator-40945b32
```

Example prompt: I'm hosting an outdoor summer barbecue for 80 guests — it's going to be hot, so use a 1.5 hot-weather multiplier, 1.5 pounds of ice per guest, 10-pound bags, and add an extra 20 pounds for chilling drinks in tubs. How much ice do I need?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, rule-based computation of ice quantities for an event given guest count, with configurable per-guest rates, bag sizes, hot-weather scaling, and extra drink-chilling pounds. It is purpose-built for event and party planning logistics rather than general grocery or supply estimation, and handles edge cases like outdoor summer heat multipliers and drink cooler needs.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'guests' parameter returns an error
- Guest count outside 1–5000 range may be rejected or produce unexpected results
- hotWeatherMultiplier outside 1–3 range may be invalid
- lbPerGuest outside 0.25–10 range may be rejected
- Non-numeric query parameters cause parsing errors
- Network or service unavailability returns 5xx error
- Payment failure (x402) prevents response

## How this service works

Pounds and bags of ice for a guest count from a per-guest rule, with hot-weather multiplier and extra for chilling drinks.

## Output

Returns total pounds and kilograms of ice needed, the number of bags to buy, pounds actually purchased (rounded up to bag size), the input parameters used (guests, lbPerGuest, hotWeatherMultiplier, extraPounds, bagPounds), a human-readable summary, and a disclaimer. May include a degraded flag, reasons list, and a verdict field.
