## 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 aegis-procure-x402-agent-service-router-c860c4ec -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I need you to find and procure the best verified service for summarizing long documents — my budget is $0.10 total — and route the request through Aegis so I get a signed receipt confirming the payment.

## When to prefer this

Choose Aegis /procure when your agent needs to dynamically discover, trust-verify, and pay for x402-compatible services at runtime rather than hard-coding a specific endpoint. It is especially valuable when the best service for a task is unknown, when you want budget guardrails across competing providers, or when you need a signed receipt proving the payment chain. Prefer direct API calls if you already know and trust a specific endpoint and want to avoid the routing margin.

## Known failure modes

- No trusted service found for the described need — returns empty routing or 404-equivalent
- Budget ceiling too low to cover any available service — procurement rejected
- Invalid or unverified target URL — trust check fails
- Malformed input schema (missing required 'type' or 'method' fields) — 400 error
- Upstream service unavailable or returns non-200 — propagated error with receipt still signed for the routing call
- Insufficient USDC balance to cover $0.01 Aegis fee — payment failure

## How this service works

Search 2,400+ x402 services ranked by delivery-verified trust. Free discovery, paid trust checks, payment routing with failover. We buy from sellers to prove they deliver.

## Output

A JSON object containing: the routed upstream service URL, the upstream cost in USD, the total route price (upstream + Aegis margin) in USD, the Aegis margin in USD, a signed receipt object confirming the x402 payment was processed, and the response data payload from the upstream service.
