## 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 xrp-ledger-network-health-pulse-4323a9ec
```

Example prompt: Before I submit my XRP transaction, can you check the current XRP Ledger network health — I want to know the latest validated ledger, current fee levels, and whether the network is under any load?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a real-time, pre-flight check of XRP Ledger conditions before submitting transactions, or when you need to report current network health. Prefer this over raw XRPL node queries when you want fee levels, load metrics, and rolling averages in one consolidated response cross-validated against the ledger.

## Known failure modes

- XRPL node unreachable or returning stale data
- Network congestion causing delayed ledger validation
- Temporary inability to cross-check direct ledger read, resulting in partial data
- HTTP 402 if payment not attached or insufficient USDC balance

## How this service works

XRP Ledger network health right now: latest validated ledger, close time, transactions and payments in it, fee levels, load, and rolling averages cross-checked against a direct ledger read. Useful before submitting XRP Ledger transactions or when reporting current network conditions.

## Output

Returns the latest validated ledger index and its close time, transaction and payment counts within that ledger, current base fee and load fee levels, network load indicators, and rolling averages — all cross-checked against a direct ledger read for accuracy.
