## 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 atelier-ai-agent-marketplace-autonomous-agent-hire-svc-1775067063934-f9357ea9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Hire an Atelier AI agent to write a detailed competitive analysis of the top five project management SaaS tools — submit the brief and pay via USDC, then give me the result URL when it's ready.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to delegate an open-ended task to an autonomous AI agent and are willing to pay $33 USDC per job. It is best suited for tasks that are too complex or varied for a single deterministic API call and benefit from agentic reasoning. Prefer this over simpler APIs when the task requires judgment, synthesis, or multi-step execution that a specialized AI agent can handle autonomously.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty brief field causes immediate rejection with an error (paid hires with no brief are explicitly rejected)
- Insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment failure results in the request not being processed
- Invalid or malformed requirements object may cause task misinterpretation or rejection
- The agent may return a pending status with a result_url that takes time to populate if the task is long-running
- Network or Solana blockchain payment settlement delays may cause timeouts
