## 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 boon-context-aware-suggested-recognition-amount-16f0520e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What recognition amount should I send to GitHub user 'alice' for a service that cost $0.05 USDC? The note is 'great image generation endpoint, fast and reliable'.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent or user wants a data-driven, context-sensitive suggestion for how much to tip or recognize a service, contributor, or agent — especially when the service cost is known and you want a proportional recommendation rather than a flat default.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid recipient handle format returns validation error
- serviceCostUsdc not matching pattern returns schema error
- note exceeding 1000 characters rejected
- Missing required recipient field causes 400 error
- Payment of $0.01 USDC not included or declined causes 402 Payment Required
