## 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 vaaya-prospeo-people-search-3cc3a49d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find me a list of VP-level and Director-level sales leaders at Series A and Series B SaaS companies in the US with 51–200 employees — search for job titles like 'VP of Sales' and 'Head of Sales'.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover and build lists of professional contacts matching specific criteria such as job title, seniority, company size, industry, location, or funding stage. It is ideal for outbound sales prospecting, recruiting outreach, and go-to-market targeting where you need a filtered, structured list of people — especially when you want to avoid managing Prospeo API credentials directly.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required job_titles field causes validation error
- Invalid enum values for seniority, headcount, or funding_stages return errors
- Too many company_domains (over 500) rejected
- Empty job_titles array rejected (minItems: 1)
- Payment failure via x402 if insufficient USDC balance
- No results returned when filters are too narrow or restrictive

## How this service works

Give an AI agent a credit account. Set a limit and a spending policy, and the agent makes approved, metered purchases from providers that accept Vaaya.

## Output

Returns a paginated list of professional contact records matching the specified filters, including names, job titles, company affiliations, and other profile data provided by Prospeo's people search index.
