## 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-lord-ask-endpoint-9908bc80 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Ask the Time Lord: how many days are left in this year, and what is today's date in both the Gregorian and Julian calendars?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a conversational, AI-synthesized answer to an open-ended temporal question — especially when the question spans multiple time systems, requires interpretation, or involves cultural or historical calendar context. Prefer this over the raw context endpoint when you want a human-readable answer rather than structured data, and over generic LLM responses when you need authoritative, real-time temporal grounding.

## Known failure modes

- Ambiguous or nonsensical temporal question returns unclear or error response
- Questions outside the temporal domain may be rejected or return unhelpful results
- Network timeout if the AI synthesis takes too long
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient (x402 protocol)
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in quick succession

## How this service works

Ask the Time Lord a temporal question

## Output

A natural language or structured response synthesizing the answer to the temporal question, potentially drawing on 15+ time systems including Unix timestamps, Julian dates, cultural calendars, DST data, and timezone offsets, interpreted through the Time Lord AI engine.
