## 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 time-agentutil-net-ea41aa9e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current time in America/New_York right now — give me the ISO timestamp, UTC offset, and whether daylight saving is active?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need the authoritative current time for a specific IANA timezone, especially when you also need DST status, UTC offset, or Unix epoch — rather than computing time locally or relying on a general-purpose LLM's knowledge of the current time.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA timezone string returns an error
- Missing timezone field may default to UTC or return a validation error
- Network timeout if the service is temporarily unavailable

## How this service works

Get current time in a timezone

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the current ISO 8601 timestamp, Unix epoch integer, UTC offset string (e.g. '+05:30'), day of week, DST boolean, the echoed timezone name, and a unique request ID. Also includes an array of related agentutil.net services.
