## 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 arch-tools-image-generate-c6475cd6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a vivid 1024x1024 image of a golden retriever running through a sunlit meadow with wildflowers in the background.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic text-to-image generation with per-call USDC micropayment pricing on Base, especially within workflows already using other Arch Tools services (entity extraction, sentiment, PDF parsing, etc.) and want a unified tool suite billed on-chain without subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required prompt field returns validation error
- Invalid size format may return a bad request error
- Insufficient USDC balance or payment failure returns 402 Payment Required
- Prompt violates content policy returns moderation rejection
- Network timeout on long generation requests
- Invalid style value may fall back to default or return error
