## 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-release-gate-task-router-12e39997 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I need you to route this task — 'summarize the quarterly earnings report and send it to the finance team' — to the best option from this list: ['summarize', 'send_email', 'schedule_meeting', 'extract_data', 'generate_report']. Which one fits best?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call task classifier or release gate with no signup friction. It is ideal for AI agent pipelines that need to branch logic dynamically, validate output quality before shipping, or triage incoming requests to the right handler. Prefer it over heavier orchestration frameworks when you want a single cheap ($0.002) synchronous call with Claude-backed reasoning and no infrastructure overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Task string exceeds 5000 characters — request rejected
- Fewer than 2 or more than 12 options provided — validation error
- Options strings exceed 160 characters each — trimmed or rejected
- Payment not attached or insufficient USDC — 402 Payment Required
- Ambiguous task with no clear option match — may return low-confidence or fallback selection
- Service unavailable on Railway deployment — 5xx error

## How this service works

Agent Release Gate: an independent quality check that tells an AI agent whether its output is ready to ship, with repair instructions when it is not. Also offers low-cost utilities for quick answers, summaries, task routing, structured JSON extraction, and Claude text generation. Pay per call with USDC over x402 on Base or MPP on Tempo; no API key or signup.

## Output

A routing decision indicating which of the provided options best matches the task, along with a rationale. When used as a release gate, also returns whether the output is approved or needs revision, plus specific repair instructions if it falls short.
