## 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-scrap-metal-work-review-54e0e737
```

Example prompt: Pull up the Pharos Atlas editorial reference for scrap metal work — I need the structured review covering how ferrous and nonferrous materials are identified, graded, and what questions buyers typically ask about contamination specs.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-structured, versioned editorial reference on scrap metal work topics — specifically ferrous and nonferrous identification — with explicit provenance, source date, and stated scope. It is preferable to open web scraping when you need reliable, citable, and well-bounded reference material at low cost ($0.01 per call) without parsing unstructured content.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed — endpoint requires $0.01 USDC via x402 protocol; missing payment returns 402 Payment Required
- Resource not found if snapshot identifier has changed or been deprecated
- Network timeout if billing.pharosatlas.com is unreachable
- Schema mismatch if client expects a different pharos schema version than pharos.trade-review.v1

## 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

Returns a JSON object with a versioned snapshot (pharos.trade-review.v1) containing: subject definitions for ferrous and nonferrous identification, a workflow array of steps for comparing buyer grade and contamination specs, a list of trade questions, safety notes, provenance metadata (source URL, release date, file SHA256), site context, and usage rights for the purchased snapshot.
