## 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 basetomcat-com-2c612341 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Mint me the experience tier of 50 TOM tokens on BaseTomcat — the 0.01 USDC option — and send them to my wallet.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need the smallest, cheapest denomination of TOM tokens (50 TOM for 0.01 USDC) — ideal for onboarding, testing, or experience-tier access on the Base network. Use the standard or large tier siblings if you need 5,000 or 25,000 TOM instead.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid X-PAYMENT header returns payment required error
- Insufficient USDC balance causes payment failure
- Network congestion on Base may result in pending/processing status delay
- Invalid payer address override causes request rejection
- Smart contract error results in failed status with no txHash
