## 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 travelpulse-currency-guide-78a7e489
```

Example prompt: I'm heading to Thailand next month — what's the best currency strategy, should I bring cash or rely on cards, and are there any no-fee cards you'd recommend for spending there?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a traveler needs actionable, destination-specific money and currency advice — especially around card vs. cash decisions, no-fee card recommendations, and exchange strategies — rather than live exchange rate lookups or currency conversion calculations.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or ambiguous destination returns an error or empty guidance
- Missing destination parameter causes a 400 bad request
- Service unavailability returns 5xx error
- Payment not processed results in 402 Payment Required

## How this service works
