## 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 agentbit-url-decoder-64209c85 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you decode this URL for me and tell me where it actually leads: https://bit.ly/3xKpQ2m?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve, expand, or decode a URL before using or sharing it — especially for shortened links (bit.ly, tinyurl, etc.), percent-encoded URLs, or tracking redirect URLs. Prefer this over manual inspection when security vetting or canonical link extraction is needed in an automated agent workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed URL input returns an error
- URL that results in a timeout or unreachable destination may fail
- Heavily obfuscated or multi-hop redirect chains may only partially resolve
- Rate limiting or blocked domains may prevent resolution

## How this service works

RFC 3986 percent-decode an input string back to its original text (%20 to space, %2F to /). Reverse of url-encode.

## Output

A JSON object containing the decoded or expanded destination URL and any available metadata about the link, such as the resolved final URL, redirect chain information, or decoded URL components.
