## 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 remittancepulse-provider-comparison-7cf3ab30
```

Example prompt: Compare all remittance providers for sending $500 USD to the Philippines in PHP — I want to see the total cost including exchange rate markup, not just the transfer fee, so I know which one actually gives the best deal.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to help a user select the optimal remittance provider for a specific send corridor, especially when transparency around hidden exchange-rate markups is important. Prefer this over generic FX rate lookups when the user wants an apples-to-apples comparison across named providers including fees plus spread. Best for migrant worker finance use cases, remittance advisory agents, or cost-optimization workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported corridor — send/receive country pair not covered, returns error or empty results
- Invalid currency codes — unrecognized ISO currency codes return validation error
- Provider data unavailable — live rate feeds temporarily down for one or more providers, partial results returned
- Missing required parameters — send amount or currency not specified, returns 400-style error
- Rate staleness — exchange rates may be cached and not reflect real-time market conditions
