# Basic Utils Agent – Temperature Conversion

> Basic Utils Agent – Temperature Conversion is a paid API for AI agents from basic-utils-agent.up.railway.app, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Converts a numeric temperature value from one unit (e.g. Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin) to another and returns the converted result.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 basic-utils-agent-temperature-conversion-c9c9e351 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Convert 37 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit for me.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, fast temperature unit conversion (Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin) and do not want to handle conversion math locally. It is purpose-built for temperature and returns structured JSON, making it easy to use in automated pipelines. Prefer it over a general-purpose calculator endpoint when the input is explicitly a temperature value with units.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (value, source_unit, or target_unit) result in a 400/422 error
- Unrecognized unit strings (e.g. typos like 'celcius') may return an error or unexpected result
- Passing non-numeric values for 'value' will cause a validation error
- Network or server errors on the Railway deployment may return 5xx responses

## How this service works

A versatile utility agent offering calculator, statistics, datetime, and unit conversion services.

## Output

A JSON object containing the original value, original unit, target unit, converted value, and conversion rate (if applicable). For example, converting 0°C returns {original_value: 0, original_unit: 'Celsius', target_unit: 'Fahrenheit', converted_value: 32, conversion_rate: null}.
