# AgentShelf Base36 Decode

> AgentShelf Base36 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).

Decodes a base36-encoded string into its original value, running entirely locally with no network or LLM involvement.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-base36-decode-ea0a3567 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you decode this base36 string for me: '3w5e11264sgsf'? I need the original value it represents.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need deterministic, offline base36 decoding without relying on an LLM or external network service. Prefer the free sandbox endpoint POST /v1/sandbox/base36-decode first; use this paid endpoint when the sandbox is unavailable or rate-limited. Ideal for decoding base36-encoded IDs, timestamps, or tokens in automated agent pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Input contains characters outside the base36 alphabet (0-9, a-z), causing a decode error
- Input string is empty or exceeds 100,000 characters, violating schema constraints
- Malformed JSON request body returns a 400 error
- Payment of exactly $0.008 USDC not provided, resulting in a 402 Payment Required response

## How this service works

Call when an agent needs text decoded with base36. No network and no LLM. Exact $0.008 USDC. Prefer unpaid POST /v1/sandbox/base36-decode first.

## Output

Returns the decoded representation of the input base36 string — typically the original numeric or string value that was base36-encoded. Processing is done without any network calls or LLM inference, so results are deterministic and exact.
