Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-international-pension-guidance-1d27f94f
```

Example prompt: I worked 15 years in Germany and then moved to Canada — can you explain how the German and Canadian public pension systems work together, including any totalization treaty that might let me combine those years toward both pensions?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user needs guidance on non-US public pension systems (UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, India, Japan) or cross-border/totalization pension situations. Prefer this over sibling US-framework endpoints when the primary concern is international or multi-country retirement planning. This is the dedicated international pension endpoint, whereas other SeniorPulse endpoints handle Medicare, SSI, VA, and US state-specific programs.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported country returns an error or empty guidance
- Missing payment signature (PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header) results in 402 Payment Required
- Ambiguous cross-border scenario may return general guidance rather than jurisdiction-specific advice
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns 429 or 503
- No query parameters provided may return generic multi-country overview rather than targeted advice

## Output
