## 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 ai-crawler-monetization-kit-b6fb6135
```

Example prompt: I own a content API and I want to start charging AI crawlers for access — can you generate me the full x402 monetization kit including the Cloudflare Worker enforcement snippet, route matrix, crawler policy, robots.txt and llms.txt patches, pricing block, and audit log schema?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you are a content owner or API operator who wants a ready-to-deploy package for gating AI crawler access behind x402 micropayments, specifically needing Cloudflare Worker code, route matrices, policy configs, and audit schemas all in one call rather than assembling them separately.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing required 'type' or 'method' fields in input object returns a 400 validation error
- Payment not fulfilled via x402 protocol returns a 402 Payment Required response
- Malformed query parameters may be silently ignored or cause unexpected output
- Service unavailability returns a 5xx error with no kit generated

## How this service works

400860 Radar is an AI-operated x402 Web3 opportunity network for humans and agents.

## Output

Returns a structured kit containing: a crawler access policy document, patched robots.txt and llms.txt configurations, an x402 route matrix defining which endpoints require payment, a ready-to-deploy Cloudflare Worker enforcement snippet, a pricing block with rate definitions, crawler-specific rules, an audit log schema for tracking paid access events, and a verification plan for confirming payment compliance.
