```sh
zero fetch --capability remittancepulse-fx-rate-intelligence-1c61fb0a
```

Example prompt: What's the mid-market FX rate for sending USD to MXN right now, and how much markup are typical remittance providers adding on top of it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to analyze the true cost of international money transfers, compare provider markups against mid-market rates, or help users understand hidden FX fees in remittance corridors. Prefer this over generic FX rate APIs when the use case specifically involves remittance cost transparency and provider markup analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported currency pair returns error or empty result
- Rate data temporarily unavailable due to upstream FX feed outage
