## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically look up VAT or GST rates for a specific country for tax compliance, invoicing, or e-commerce checkout — especially in an x402 micropayment-enabled agent pipeline where per-call billing is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized country code/name returns an error or empty result
- Country not in dataset returns no rate data
- Malformed path parameter causes a 400 or 404 response
- Service unavailable or payment not processed causes a 402 or 5xx error

## Output
