## 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 toolsmith-recall-check-b76caea1
```

Example prompt: Can you check if there are any active recalls on a product with UPC 012345678905 — I want to know the hazard details and what the remedy is before I buy it.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, keyless, pay-per-call recall check without setting up API credentials. Ideal for agents doing product safety due diligence, e-commerce compliance checks, or automotive pre-purchase verification. Prefer this over direct CPSC/FDA API calls when you need a unified multi-agency result in a single call with no authentication overhead.

## Known failure modes

- No recalls found returns total: 0 and an empty recalls array
- Invalid or malformed UPC/VIN returns a 400 error
- Ambiguous query may return unrelated recalls if keyword is too generic
- CPSC or FDA upstream outage may result in partial or empty results
- VIN must be a valid 17-character string; non-standard formats may fail to decode

## How this service works

Keyless pay-per-call APIs for AI agents: 30 tools across compliance, trade, safety, web and data. Pay per call with USDC on Base via x402. No account, no API key.

## Output

Returns the total number of recalls found, a count broken down by agency (e.g. CPSC, FDA-food), and an array of recall records each containing the recall ID, product name, hazard description, remedy, date, source agency, and a link to the official recall page.
