## 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 whatchuneed-drug-search-4d76f2f6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you search for information on metformin — I want to know its generic name, how it's administered, and who manufactures it?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick pharmaceutical lookup by drug name, want to resolve brand-to-generic name mappings, or need to identify the manufacturer and route of administration for a medication. Prefer this over general web search when structured, machine-readable drug data is needed for downstream processing.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results array if no drugs match the query string
- Ambiguous query returning many loosely related results
- Query too short or vague returning irrelevant entries
- Network or server error returning HTTP 500
- Missing or malformed query field returning validation error
