## 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`):

Example prompt: Send an escrow payment of 5 USDC to wallet address 0xABC123...DEF for 'data processing service rendered' — use my AgentPay x402 payment header to authorize it atomically.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent, IoT device, or autonomous system needs to send USDC to a specific wallet atomically without human intervention, especially within the x402 payment protocol ecosystem. Prefer over generic crypto transfer APIs when you need escrow semantics and machine-to-machine authorization via payment headers.
