## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability wealthpulse-emergency-fund-calculator-39b72d98
```

Example prompt: Can you figure out how big my emergency fund should be? I bring home $6,500 a month, my fixed expenses are about $4,200, I have 2 dependents, and my job is moderately stable — also show me current HYSA rates so I know where to put the money.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user wants personalized emergency fund sizing that accounts for their specific income, expenses, dependents, and job stability — especially when they also want current HYSA rates to act on the recommendation immediately. Prefer over generic financial advice content when concrete, calculated outputs are needed.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required inputs (income or expenses) returns a 400 error with field-level validation messages
- Extremely low or zero income may produce edge-case sizing logic — agent should validate inputs
- HYSA rate data may be stale if external rate feeds are delayed — rates should be treated as approximate
- Service unavailability returns a 5xx error; agent should retry or inform user

## How this service works

How big should my emergency fund be, and how do I build it? Emergency-fund calculator sizing the target by income, expenses, dependents, and job stability, plus a funding plan and current high-yield savings (HYSA) rates. For personal-finance and wealth agents.

## Output

Returns a recommended emergency fund target in dollars (e.g. 3–6 months of expenses), a tailored funding plan with monthly contribution milestones, and a list of current high-yield savings account rates to maximize returns on the saved amount.
