## 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-phrasebook-18bbafc0
```

Example prompt: Can you give me practical travel phrases with pronunciation for speaking Italian in restaurant situations — things like ordering, asking for the bill, and dietary restrictions?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a traveler needs practical, context-specific phrases with pronunciation help for a destination language, rather than full translation of arbitrary text. Ideal for pre-trip preparation or real-time language assistance in specific travel scenarios like hotels, restaurants, transport, or emergencies.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported language code or language name returns an error or empty result
- Overly vague context parameter may return generic rather than targeted phrases
- Payment not completed via x402 protocol results in 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting may occur with excessive requests
- Unusual or highly specific travel contexts may return limited phrase sets
