## 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 arcgate-agent-telegram-channel-create-9174e6f6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Set up a Telegram channel for my agent at address 0xAbCd1234... so it can send me messages and alerts directly through Telegram.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to provision a Telegram communication channel specifically for an Arcgate-managed agent identified by its on-chain address. Prefer this over generic Telegram bot setup when your agent already operates within the Arcgate ecosystem and you want a managed, paid-per-use channel that integrates with the agent's address-based identity.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing agent address returns a 400 or 404 error
- Insufficient payment (less than $0.01 USDC) causes payment failure via x402 protocol
- Telegram channel already exists for this agent address may return a conflict error
- Malformed request body returns a validation error
- Network or upstream Telegram API issues may cause a 500 error

## Output

Returns the created Telegram channel details including a channel ID and configuration that the agent can use to send Telegram messages or notifications going forward.
