## 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 agentbridge-purchase-via-the402-ai-aa0dc7d1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Purchase the AgentBridge service on the402.ai and start a new job — I want to bridge my AI agents together and get a thread ID back so I can track the task.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to invoke the AgentBridge capability specifically on the the402.ai marketplace and require a job_id and thread_id to track the resulting agent task. Prefer this over generic agent orchestration tools when operating within the x402 micropayment ecosystem at $0.008 USDC per call.

## Known failure modes

- Payment authorization failure — insufficient USDC balance or invalid x402 payment header
- Service unavailable — the AgentBridge service (svc_cedcc497e8a44d29) is offline or not accepting requests
- Invalid request body — missing required purchase parameters
- Rate limit exceeded — too many calls in a short window
- Network timeout — no response from api.the402.ai
