## 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 scholarpulse-student-loan-refinancing-intelligence-b82e9a3d
```

Example prompt: I have $45,000 in federal student loans in the US with excellent credit — can you pull the current private refi market rates and give me an honest verdict on whether refinancing is worth it, including what federal benefits like PSLF or income-driven repayment I'd be giving up?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a student or financial-aid agent needs real-time refinancing rate intelligence and a concrete recommendation across multiple countries — especially when federal-to-private tradeoffs (PSLF, IDR, forbearance) need to be surfaced honestly. Prefer over generic finance APIs when the use case is specifically student loan refi with education-domain context.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported country code returns 400 or empty lender set
- Stale rate data if market has moved since last update
- No lenders available for a specific credit tier in a given country
- Missing required query parameters return 400 error
- Payment failure returns 402 if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Student loan refinancing intelligence for student and financial-aid agents. Global coverage (US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, India): current private refi market rates by credit tier, an honest worth-it verdict, lender categories, and country-specific tradeoffs — including federal-to-private benefit forfeiture (income-driven repayment, PSLF, forbearance) where it applies.

## Output

Returns current private student loan refinancing rates broken down by credit tier, an honest worth-it verdict, categorized lender options, and country-specific tradeoffs — including explicit warnings about federal-to-private benefit forfeiture (income-driven repayment plans, PSLF eligibility, forbearance protections) where applicable.
