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 api-strale-io-6ecef54a
```

Example prompt: Scan this source code for all environment variable references like process.env and os.environ, then generate a .env template with descriptions and example values: `const db = process.env.DATABASE_URL; const key = process.env.API_KEY;`

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to automatically document or bootstrap environment variable configuration for a code project — especially useful for onboarding, CI/CD setup, or generating .env.example files from existing code without manually reading through all source files.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'code' query parameter returns an error or empty template
- Code with no environment variable references returns an empty template
- Malformed or extremely large code snippets may fail to parse
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Scan source code for environment variable references (process.env, os.environ, etc.) and generate a .env template with descriptions and example values.

## Output

A .env template file with all detected environment variable names, human-readable descriptions of what each variable does, and example/placeholder values — ready to be used as a project's .env.example file.

## Example request

```json
{
 "code": "const db = process.env.DATABASE_URL;\nconst apiKey = process.env.API_KEY;\nconst port = process.env.PORT || 3000;\nconst logLevel = process.env.LOG_LEVEL;",
 "project_description": "Node.js backend service for a REST API"
}
```
