## 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 solopreneur-apitoai-xyz-4f0ac31c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I'm hiring my first employee for my small business — can you walk me through how to set up payroll, what federal and state taxes I need to withhold, and what benefits I'm legally required to offer?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-generated guidance on payroll setup, payroll tax calculations, benefits administration, or compensation compliance for a small business or solopreneur context. Best for conversational, advisory-style answers rather than executing actual payroll transactions.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing 'message' field returns an error response with success: false
- Ambiguous queries may produce generic advice rather than jurisdiction-specific guidance
- Complex multi-state payroll scenarios may require follow-up queries for full coverage
- Rate limiting or service unavailability may return a failed response
