## 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-travel-phrase-lookup-by-language-and-context-7a560967
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up a dining phrasebook for Japanese — I want the key phrases with pronunciation and any cultural tips I should know?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, context-specific travel phrases with pronunciation and cultural guidance for a specific destination language — especially when preparing a traveler ahead of a trip. Prefer this over a generic translation API when you want curated phrases grouped by travel scenario (dining, hotel, emergency) with cultural notes rather than free-form text translation.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'language' parameter returns a 400 error
- Unsupported or misspelled language name may return empty or generic results
- Invalid 'context' value outside the allowed enum may fall back to default (greetings) silently
- Network or payment failure returns a 402 or 5xx status
- Response may be stale if generated_at_utc is old for frequently-updated content
