## 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-the402-ai-1dc4d2ae -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: The AI service task in thread thread_59a61c8708154ab0 on the402 platform looks complete — please verify the delivery and release the payment to the provider.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to close the loop on a service transaction on the402.ai platform — specifically after a purchased service (e.g. sentiment analysis, web scraping, document extraction) has been delivered and you want to formally verify completion and release the escrowed payment to the provider. This is the settlement step in the402.ai's service lifecycle, not a general payment endpoint.

## Known failure modes

- Thread ID not found or invalid — 404 error
- Service delivery not yet confirmed — verification fails with pending status
- Payment already released — idempotency conflict error
- Insufficient funds or payment hold expired — payment release fails
- Unauthorized request — missing or invalid authentication credentials
