## 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-grid-status-e090a6f6
```

Example prompt: Can you check the current European electricity grid status — specifically whether there's any price volatility or renewable stress I should know about, and if there are any load-shift recommendations right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single low-cost, fast call for European grid health overview including price volatility and renewable stress signals, especially for agents making energy scheduling or trading decisions in real time. Prefer this over raw ENTSO-E APIs when you need a pre-processed, agent-ready summary without handling raw grid telemetry.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream ENTSO-E data unavailable — partial or cached data returned
- Payment not processed (x402) — 402 Payment Required before data is served
- Rate limit exceeded — too many requests in a short window
- Stale data if proxy refresh is delayed — timestamps should be checked
- Invalid query parameters return 400 Bad Request

## How this service works

Xynaptic Grid Status — current European grid health proxy: price volatility, renewable stress signals, load-shift recommendations. Will be enriched with ENTSO-E data (grid-status ENTSO-E access).

## Output

A JSON response containing current European electricity grid health metrics: price volatility indicators, renewable energy stress signals, and load-shift recommendations. Data is sourced from a proxy layer with planned ENTSO-E enrichment for authoritative grid data.
