## 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-media-info-ffprobe-9ffcda61 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check the codec, resolution, frame rate, and duration of this video file: https://example.com/sample.mp4?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need technical metadata about a remote audio or video file — codec, resolution, fps, duration, bitrate, or stream layout — without downloading the file yourself. Ideal for pre-flight checks before transcoding, validating media uploads, or surfacing technical specs to a user. Prefer this over generic file-inspection tools when the target is specifically audio/video and you need ffprobe-level detail.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible or returns 4xx/5xx — error response indicating fetch failure
- Media file exceeds 30MB limit — request rejected with size error
- URL does not point to a valid audio/video file — ffprobe parse error returned
- Network timeout fetching the remote file — timeout error
- Unsupported or corrupt media container — ffprobe unable to read stream info

## How this service works

Inspect any audio/video URL with ffprobe: container, duration, bitrate, and per-stream codec details (sample rate/channels for audio, resolution/fps for video) as JSON. Body: {"url":"https://…/file.mp4"}.

## Output

A JSON object containing container format details (format name, duration, bitrate, size) and an array of per-stream details — for video streams: codec name, resolution (width x height), frame rate; for audio streams: codec name, sample rate, number of channels.
