## 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 agishub-url-shortener-0296b514
```

Example prompt: Can you shorten this URL for me so I can share it more easily? Here's the long link: https://www.example.com/some/very/long/path?with=lots&of=query&parameters=here

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, no-auth-key URL shortener that charges per-use via x402 micropayment. Ideal for agents that need to shorten URLs on demand without managing a URL shortening account or API key. The one-year code persistence is suitable for most sharing scenarios.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed URL input returns an error — must be a valid http/https URI
- Non-HTTP/HTTPS schemes (e.g. ftp://) may be rejected
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Service unavailability or timeout for downstream storage issues
