## 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 weather-alerts-active-severe-weather-alerts-us-206430bc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Are there any active severe weather alerts or warnings right now for the Chicago, Illinois area?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time active severe-weather alerts (watches, warnings, advisories) for a US location. Prefer it over general forecast endpoints when safety-critical hazard awareness is the goal rather than temperature or precipitation forecasts. It complements the hourly forecast sibling endpoint, which covers routine conditions.

## Known failure modes

- Location not in US coverage area — no alerts returned or error indicating unsupported region
- Ambiguous place name — may return alerts for wrong region if place name is not specific enough
- No active alerts — returns empty result set for the location (not an error, just no current hazards)
- Malformed input object — request rejected with schema validation error
- Payment failure — 402 response if USDC payment is not properly attached

## Output

A list of active severe-weather alerts for the queried US location, including alert type (watch, warning, advisory), hazard description, affected area, severity level, and validity time window.
