```sh
zero fetch --capability api-recoupable-com-1da28612
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to generate images programmatically via a simple pay-per-call API with micropayments in USDC, especially in agentic workflows where per-use billing via x402 protocol is preferred over subscription models.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or empty prompt returns an error
- Payment failure if x402 USDC funds are insufficient
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in quick succession
- Model unavailability or timeout for complex prompts
- Prompt policy violation for disallowed content
