## 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 agent-payment-metering-and-reconciliation-per-request-decision-4df8ca37
```

Example prompt: Give me the decision procedure for how an autonomous agent should handle per-request payment metering and three-way financial reconciliation when using x402 USDC micropayments on Base.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs authoritative, LLM-synthesized guidance on implementing per-request payment metering and three-way financial reconciliation in x402 flows on Base — particularly when building or auditing agent merchant infrastructure where precise USDC accounting per API call is required. Prefer over static documentation when you need a generative, contextually tunable decision procedure that can be shaped via topic override.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 returned if USDC payment not yet settled — agent must pay exact amount and retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header
- Invalid or missing payment signature returns payment error
- topic query param ignored if malformed
- meta=1 returns free metadata JSON without triggering payment flow
- Service unavailable if K-2SO agent is offline between heartbeats

## Output

A JSON object containing a plain-prose decision procedure brief (120+ words) generated by an LLM explaining how an agent should meter and reconcile per-request x402 payments, along with the generating model name, topic, service slug, generation timestamp, generation source (llm/reasoning/deterministic), and payment confirmation metadata.
