Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 ambient-occlusion-map-mcp-aec3a106 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you generate an ambient occlusion map from my 3D mesh data so I can use it in my PBR rendering pipeline?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic, on-demand ambient occlusion map generation within an agentic or automated pipeline, especially when integrating AO baking into workflows that require payment-gated, API-driven texture generation without manual DCC tool intervention.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed input data string returns a processing error
- Unsupported geometry format may result in empty or null output
- Large or complex scene data may time out
- Missing required 'data' field returns a 400-level error
- Ambiguous input format may produce incorrect occlusion results

## How this service works

The premier global index of 1,069 monetized MCP nodes across 205 specialized subdomains. Gasless USDC runtime settlements via x402 V2 Spec on Base L2. Save 95% token context.

## Output

Returns a processed ambient occlusion map — typically image data or a texture representing computed occlusion values across the surface of the input geometry, usable directly in rendering or compositing pipelines.
