## 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 vetpulse-va-healthcare-guide-e46c2cbd
```

Example prompt: I'm a veteran with a 60% disability rating and I served 8 years on active duty — can you check my VA healthcare enrollment eligibility, what priority group I'd be in, what my copays would look like, and whether my spouse qualifies for CHAMPVA?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a veteran or benefits advocate agent needs a comprehensive VA healthcare eligibility and benefits overview in a single call, especially when the user needs to understand priority groups, copays, dependent CHAMPVA coverage, and community care together rather than separately

## Known failure modes

- Missing or insufficient veteran profile data returns incomplete eligibility assessment
- Ambiguous service history may result in generic rather than personalized guidance
- Rapidly changing VA policy may cause information to lag behind current regulations
- Unusual service circumstances (Guard/Reserve activations) may not be fully addressed

## Output
