## 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 agentutility-qr-code-generator-fdfe14d1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a QR code for https://www.wikipedia.org/ so I can embed it in a flyer.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to programmatically generate QR codes from URLs or text strings as part of an automated workflow, especially when payment via USDC on Base is available and an MCP-compatible or x402-aware client is in use.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed URL/text input returns an error
- Empty input body results in a bad request response
- Payment failure via x402 prevents endpoint access
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion if called at high frequency

## How this service works

Paid x402 endpoints organized into product clusters. USDC-settled on Base. MCP-callable. ERC-8004 identity registry agentId 47167.
