## 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 qotien-french-tax-niche-cap-calculator-niches-plafond-84613831 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Calculate the global French tax-niche ceiling for a client who has 3 000 € in emploi à domicile, 5 000 € in FCPI, and 2 000 € in Dons organismes d'intérêt général — tell me the total cap and the confidence level.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a legally-sourced, automated calculation of the French global tax-niche ceiling (plafonnement global des niches fiscales under CGI art. 200-0 A) for a specific combination of tax advantages. Prefer it over generic tax calculators because it references official Légifrance and BOFiP sources and returns a structured confidence rating. Best suited for CGP (wealth management advisor) workflows, tax declaration prep, and pre-investment compliance checks within the French fiscal system.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid niche type string — unrecognized libellé may produce non_calculable confidence
- Negative montant — rejected by schema (minimum: 0)
- Empty niches array — may return 0 cap value or error
- Missing required fields (type or montant) — API returns ok:false with error field
- Unsupported fiscal year edge cases — may return estime confidence instead of fiable

## How this service works

Simulateur IFI, PER, IR et retraite (32 régimes). Logiciel CGP : bilan patrimonial, déclaration 2042, LMNP. Chiffres sourcés Légifrance et BOFiP. 14 jours d'essai.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with ok (boolean), result containing a EUR value for the global niche cap, a human-readable label, a confidence level (fiable/estime/partiel/non_calculable/sourcee/variable), legal sources (e.g. CGI art. 200-0 A), the fiscal year applied (millesime_fiscal), and an advisory disclaimer.
