## 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 qonoro-person-search-72b2071c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find me up to 5 VP-level decision makers in the SaaS industry based in New York — I need their names, titles, LinkedIn URLs, and whether they're decision makers.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to discover people by role, seniority, industry, or location rather than looking up a known individual by name. Ideal for B2B prospecting, lead generation, account research, and recruiting workflows where the agent needs to identify who to contact within a target segment. Prefer this over company-level endpoints when the goal is finding specific humans rather than company metadata.

## Known failure modes

- No search criteria provided — at least one of title, seniority, company_name, industry, or location is required
- Zero results returned when criteria are too narrow or obscure
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient
- Confidence scores may be low for uncommon or ambiguous profiles
- LinkedIn URLs may be null for some matched individuals
- Result limit capped at 10 per call

## How this service works

x402-native person discovery for autonomous agents. Given search criteria (title, seniority, company, industry, or location) instead of a known name, returns a list of matching people with title, seniority, department, decision-maker status, LinkedIn URL, and location. Structured JSON. Paid per request via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON array of matching people, each with full_name, title, seniority tier, department, company_name, linkedin_url, location, is_decision_maker boolean, and a confidence_score. Also includes a sources array indicating data provenance.
