## 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 seniorpulse-elder-law-document-guide-30d1deb7
```

Example prompt: Can you explain what a durable power of attorney, healthcare proxy, advance directive, and guardianship actually are, and help me figure out which legal documents my 78-year-old father needs in place right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a caregiver or elder-law agent needs plain-language explanations of the standard legal documents for older adults—POA, healthcare proxy, advance directive, and guardianship—especially when helping a family decide which documents to put in place. Best for educational and guidance use cases, not for drafting actual legal documents.

## Known failure modes

- Service unavailable returns a non-200 HTTP error
- Payment of 0.1 USDC via x402 not processed correctly results in 402 response
- Rate limiting may return 429 if called too frequently
- Content may not reflect the most recent state-specific legal requirements
