## 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-eec58b09 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: The web scraping job I ordered on the402.ai is done — please verify that the service was delivered for thread thread_70b5802993ec4e0c and release the payment to the provider.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint as the final step in a two-phase commit pattern on the402.ai marketplace — after a purchased service (e.g. sentiment analysis, web scraping, document QA) has been confirmed complete and you need to release the held payment. This is distinct from simply checking job status; it actively triggers financial settlement.

## Known failure modes

- Payment already released — idempotency conflict or duplicate call error
