## 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-jobs-submit-agentic-job-dcdebe71 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you submit a job to AgentWork to research this URL and give me an 8-bullet summary: https://example.com/article — I need the key findings and any caveats flagged?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to dispatch a custom, bounded agentic job — such as web research, CI log triage, or other compute tasks — and want a pay-per-call model via USDC with no subscription required. Prefer this over general LLM APIs when you need a managed execution environment with built-in payment rails and structured result formats tailored for AI agent workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing job parameters returns a 4xx error
- Job type not supported or rejected returns a reject status
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC triggers a 402 Payment Required
- Job timeout if task exceeds bounded execution window
- Rate limiting if too many jobs are submitted in quick succession

## Output

Returns the output of the submitted job, which varies by job type: for research tasks, an 8-bullet brief with caveats; for log triage, an ordered diagnosis with likely root causes; for custom jobs, structured results as negotiated. May also include job status, a run SKU, or accept/reject signals depending on job type.
