> AgentShelf Base32 Decode is a paid API for AI agents from agentshelf.syntexa.ch, paid per call via x402, $0.008/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-29).

## 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 agentshelf-base32-decode-ee925a35 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you decode this Base32 string for me: JBSWY3DPEB3W64TMMQQQ====? I need to know what the original text says.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a Base32-encoded string and need to recover the original plaintext, with no LLM involvement and deterministic output. It is preferable to LLM-based decoding because it is exact, fast, and cheap. Try the free sandbox endpoint POST /v1/sandbox/base32-decode first; fall back to this paid endpoint when the sandbox is unavailable or rate-limited.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid Base32 input (e.g. non-Base32 characters) returns a decode error
- Input shorter than 1 character or exceeding 100,000 characters is rejected
- Malformed padding in Base32 string causes a parsing failure
- Payment not received results in HTTP 402 response

## How this service works

Call when an agent needs text decoded with base32. No network and no LLM. Exact $0.008 USDC. Prefer unpaid POST /v1/sandbox/base32-decode first.

## Output

Returns the decoded plaintext string corresponding to the input Base32-encoded value. No external calls are made; the computation is deterministic and runs locally.
