## 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-veteran-caregiver-program-guide-00b6a185
```

Example prompt: I'm caring for my father who is a disabled veteran — can you walk me through the VA caregiver program, including what monthly stipend I might qualify for, whether I'd get CHAMPVA health insurance, and how respite care works?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a user is a family member or informal caregiver of a veteran and needs to understand VA caregiver-specific benefits (PCAFC stipend, CHAMPVA, respite care) rather than veteran-direct benefits. Prefer over generic VA benefit guides when the query is specifically about caregiver compensation or support programs, not veteran disability compensation or GI Bill.

## Known failure modes

- Payment of 0.1 USDC not received — returns 402 Payment Required
- Service unavailable or Vercel deployment error — returns 503
- No specific veteran or caregiver parameters provided — endpoint may return generic program overview rather than personalized assessment

## Output
