## 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 tzkt-delegates-count-294df829
```

Example prompt: How many active delegates are currently registered on the Tezos blockchain right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick scalar count of Tezos delegates without needing full delegate details. Ideal for dashboards, monitoring scripts, or decentralization analysis where only the aggregate number matters. Prefer this over listing all delegates when you only need the count to avoid large payload overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid boolean value for 'active' parameter returns a 400 Bad Request
- Network connectivity issues may result in timeout errors
- Service unavailability returns 5xx errors
