## 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 autoyt-launch-planner-f1b04f49 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you use AutoYT to plan a YouTube launch for a 10-minute educational video about personal finance for beginners, with all-original content, posting twice a week, expecting around 5000 views per release at $2 RPM, with a production budget of $50?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need an automated go/no-go production decision and a launch manifest for a YouTube video or series before committing resources. It is best suited for agents orchestrating video content pipelines that need to evaluate topic viability, production cost, expected revenue, and publishing cadence in a single call before triggering downstream production steps.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields 'topic' or 'rightsStatus' causes validation error
- targetSeconds below minimum of 15 returns schema validation failure
- cadencePerWeek below 1 is rejected
- Invalid bodyType or HTTP method enum value causes routing failure
- Malformed input object structure returns 400-level error

## How this service works

Cognilode ships production engineering, SignalCrew production AgentOps, Forge browser software creation, AutoYT video automation, technical products, cybersecurity work, and Care Network provider access.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean, a 'result' containing a 'decision' field (e.g. 'produce') and a 'manifest' object (including whether YouTube OAuth is required), and the service name 'autoyt-launch-planner'.
