## 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-mail-sh-day-inbox-1eadc739
```

Example prompt: Set up a fresh ai-mail.sh inbox that lasts 24 hours so I can receive verification emails and automatically pull out any codes or confirmation links that arrive.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs a short-lived, receive-only email address for a single-session or same-day task — especially for automated signup flows, OAuth verifications, or one-time code capture where a 30-day inbox would be overkill and cost more. Prefer the day plan over the 30-day sibling when the task is ephemeral, the inbox will not need to persist across days, and volume will stay under 10 emails.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or insufficient — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- Inbox limit reached — if the daily quota for provisioning inboxes is exhausted, request may fail
- Network or service unavailability — transient 5xx errors possible
- Inbox expires after 24 hours — subsequent reads on the same address will return no new mail or an error
- More than 10 emails received — additional messages beyond the cap are silently dropped

## How this service works

New @ai-mail.sh email inbox for an AI agent: 24 hours, up to 10 incoming emails. Receive-only; codes and verification links extracted. Docs: https://ai-mail.sh/llms.txt

## Output

Returns a newly provisioned @ai-mail.sh email address with a 24-hour TTL, capable of receiving up to 10 incoming messages. The response includes the inbox address and any already-received emails, with verification codes and clickable confirmation links parsed out and surfaced directly — no raw email parsing required.
