## 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`):

```

Example prompt: Buy me 5,000 TOM tokens on Base using the standard tier — I want to spend 1 USDC for the mint right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs to acquire a mid-range quantity of TOM tokens (5,000) for a moderate cost of 1 USDC. Prefer over the experience tier (50 TOM / 0.01 USDC) when more tokens are needed per transaction, and over the large tier (25,000 TOM / 5 USDC) when budget is limited to 1 USDC. Ideal for standard-scale TOM acquisition on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance — payment of 1 USDC cannot be fulfilled
- Invalid wallet address or missing payment header
- x402 payment protocol failure or facilitator rejection
- Base network congestion causing transaction delay or failure
- Mint contract error or supply exhausted

## How this service works

Buy 5,000 TOM (standard tier) for 1 USDC on Base.

## Output

A confirmation of the mint transaction on the Base network, crediting 5,000 TOM tokens to the caller's wallet after the 1 USDC x402 payment is processed.
