## 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 uk-premises-licence-compare-api-30ab919e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you compare the premises licence requirements between Westminster and Manchester City Council for a 28-year-old applicant wanting to open a bar?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a deterministic, evidence-backed side-by-side comparison of UK premises licensing requirements across two or more specific local authorities. Ideal for licensing consultants, venue operators evaluating multiple locations, legal advisors needing jurisdiction comparisons, or regulatory compliance tools. Prefer this over the preflight endpoint when the goal is inter-authority benchmarking rather than a single-authority readiness check.

## Known failure modes

- Fewer than 2 authorities provided — API requires minItems:2 in the authorities array
- Invalid or unsupported authority name returns empty results or error
- Negative applicant_age value rejected by schema validation
- x402 payment not attached or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- Unrecognised authority names may yield empty comparison_note or null results

## How this service works

HTTP compatibility surface for the same deterministic, evidence-linked premises-licence decision engine exposed over MCP. Free readiness/status routes remain unmetered; POST /api/v1/preflight and /api/v1/compare are x402 protected.

## Output

A JSON object containing an array of comparison results across the specified local licensing authorities, with evidence-linked notes explaining how requirements differ between authorities, potentially considering the applicant's age in the assessment.
