## 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 synthora-fda-product-recalls-c5d8313e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if 'Nature's Best Peanut Butter' has any active FDA recalls — I want to know the reason, classification, and whether it's still under recall before I order it?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call FDA recall and enforcement lookup for a specific product before purchase, listing, or shipment — especially in commerce agent workflows where pre-purchase safety validation is required without the overhead of a full FDA API integration. Ideal for agents that need lightweight, on-demand recall checks rather than bulk data pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Product not found in FDA database returns empty result object
- Ambiguous product name may return unrelated recall records
- FDA database may not reflect recalls announced in the last 24-48 hours
- Overly generic search terms may return too many or irrelevant records
- Network timeout or upstream FDA API unavailability

## How this service works

## Output
