## 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-colored-paint-protection-film-review-29cbce2c
```

Example prompt: Pull up the Pharos Atlas reference snapshot for colored paint protection film — I need the subject definitions, workflow steps, and decision questions for advising a customer on gloss versus matte color PPF options.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, citable editorial reference on colored paint protection film with defined scope, provenance, and subject taxonomy — particularly for AI agents building trade advisory workflows, researchers needing sourced reference material, or developers populating automotive knowledge bases. Prefer this over open web search when you need a stable, versioned snapshot with SHA256 provenance rather than unpredictable live search results.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed via x402 protocol — returns 402 Payment Required with no content
- Resource identifier mismatch — if URL is malformed, returns 404
- Snapshot may be dated; the source_date field indicates when the editorial content was captured, not the current date
- No query parameters accepted; passing extra params results in rejection per schema additionalProperties:false
- Content is editorial/reference only — does not reflect real-time pricing, availability, or installer recommendations

## 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 object containing: labeled subject definitions for colored PPF variants (gloss, matte, satin, metallic, texture), a curated list of installer decision questions, a recommended workflow sequence, source provenance metadata (source URL, release date, file SHA256), snapshot identifier, and language/schema version fields. The response is a fixed editorial snapshot, not a live web scrape.
