## 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 sitecheck-trade-energy-epa-echo-state-enforcement-summary-ea1bfed7
```

Example prompt: Pull the EPA ECHO enforcement summary for Texas — I want to see the number of active facilities, inspections, formal enforcement actions, and total penalties assessed.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, aggregated state-level snapshot of EPA enforcement activity — facility counts, inspections, penalties — without needing individual facility-level violation details. It is ideal for regulatory risk assessments, compliance overviews, or comparing enforcement intensity across states. Prefer alternatives if you need facility-specific violation records or granular permit-level data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing 2-letter state code returns an error
- State code not recognized by EPA ECHO returns empty or error response
- ECHO upstream service downtime may cause request failures
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) prevents response
