## 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 agent402-tools-base32-encoder-decoder-b968ad39 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you base32-encode the text 'Hello, World!' for me using RFC 4648?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a simple, reliable Base32 (RFC 4648) encode or decode operation as a paid micro-service via x402 protocol, without running your own encoding library or compute.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid mode value (not 'encode' or 'decode') results in an error
- Decoding invalid or malformed Base32 input may return an error or corrupted output
- Missing 'text' field in request body causes a bad request error
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
