## 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 pharos-atlas-car-tinting-reference-e5b29f53
```

Example prompt: Pull up the Pharos Atlas car tinting reference — I need the structured breakdown of window tinting considerations, safety notes, and workflow by glass position (windshield, front sides, rear sides, rear window, sunroof).

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, citable reference document on car window tinting with explicit provenance and scope — especially useful for AI agents building automotive advisory tools, compliance research, or trade knowledge bases. Prefer this over live web scraping when you need stable, versioned content with audit trails.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or x402 protocol failure — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- Network or server error — endpoint returns 5xx with no body
- Snapshot may be dated — source_date reflects editorial release, not real-time regulation updates
- No query parameters supported — any attempt to filter by state or window type returns same fixed document

## How this service works

Pharos Atlas provides structured editorial references for trade and blue-collar topics. Its paid x402 resources give researchers, developers, and AI agents defined reference material with stated scope, source context, and limitations. Each listing describes the specific resource being purchased.

## Output

A structured JSON document (schema: pharos.trade-review.v1) containing: per-window-position tinting guidance (windshield, front side, rear side, rear window, sunroof), a review workflow checklist, diagnostic questions, safety notes, a brief summary, and full provenance metadata including source URL, release date, and file hash for auditability.
