## 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 agentwork-job-quote-c0ece90a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you get me a quote for a job that scrapes and summarizes competitor pricing pages — skill is web research, my budget is $5 USDC, and the constraint is that it must return results within 10 minutes?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint before committing to a job run when you need to validate feasibility, confirm pricing, and receive a run SKU. Prefer it over open-ended job submission APIs when budget control is critical and you want a firm fixed-price commitment before execution. Best suited for bounded, well-scoped tasks where goal, skill, and constraints can be clearly stated.

## Known failure modes

- Job rejected if budget is too low to be profitable for the provider
- Job rejected if the required skill is not available
- Ambiguous goal or constraints may lead to rejection rather than a quote
- Network or payment authorization failures may prevent the call from completing
- Single counter limit: if the quote is not acted upon, a new call must be made

## How this service works

Paid quote for a bounded custom job. Returns accept, map_to_existing, or reject plus a fixed run SKU and price. One counter then stop. We decline if we cannot make money.

## Output

A decision field (accept, map_to_existing, or reject), and if accepted: a fixed run SKU identifying the job type and a USDC price locked for that run. One quote response is issued per call with no follow-up counter.
