## 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 agents-vimmerse-net-vimmerse-workflow-estimate-credits-f3895a6a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I kick off the Vimmerse workflow, can you check how many credits the template 'vim_wc26_team' will cost if I run it in video pipeline mode?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to preview or validate the credit cost of a workflow before committing to running it. It requires no authentication and has no side effects, making it safe to call speculatively. Prefer this over checking /v2/workflow directly when cost-awareness or budget validation is required before job creation.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid template_id returns an error or zero credits
- Invalid pipeline_mode value may default or return an error
- If the template defines only one pipeline mode and the wrong one is specified, estimate may not reflect correct price
- Network timeout on the estimate endpoint
- Template not found — unknown template_id returns an error response

## How this service works

Returns the template list-price credits for **POST /v2/workflow** given `template_id` and `options`. No authentication required. When a template defines both image and video list prices, `options.pipeline_mode` (`image` or `video`) selects which applies. Actual runtime charges may include per-step metering and cloud fees beyond this estimate.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with `total_credits` (integer estimate from the template list price) and `breakdown` (object detailing credit components and the selected pipeline mode). No job is created and no credits are charged.
