## 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 xynaptic-destination-brief-bb344cfc
```

Example prompt: Give me a destination brief for Jakarta — I need the Wikipedia summary, coordinates, population, timezone, country, and what it's known for.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to quickly ground itself with factual, encyclopedic context about a travel destination — especially coordinates, timezone, population, and cultural highlights — in a single call. Prefer it over general web search when structured, consistent output is required for downstream trip planning logic or when supporting multilingual (en/fr) travel agents.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled city name returns an error or empty result
- Rare or very small localities may lack Wikipedia coverage
- Language parameter set to an unsupported code may fall back to English or return an error
- Network timeout if Wikipedia or underlying data source is slow to respond
