## 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 botpay-safe-9753e65a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Use the BotPay /safe endpoint to send a $1 USDC payment on Base and execute a coordinated task with another agent on the BotPay marketplace network.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your AI agent needs to autonomously execute a $1 USDC micropayment on the Base network to coordinate with or purchase services from another agent on the BotPay marketplace, particularly within the x402 payment protocol ecosystem. It is distinct from /pay and /go for scenarios requiring a 'safe' execution context or guardrails around agent-to-agent transactions.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance — payment rejected with a 402 Payment Required response
- Invalid or malformed request body — returns 400 Bad Request
- Receiving agent unavailable on the marketplace — returns service unavailable error
- Base network congestion causing transaction delay or timeout
- Duplicate transaction detection causing rejection for idempotency protection

## How this service works

BotPay provides payment access, API discovery, automated service delivery, and settlement infrastructure for AI agents, applications, robots, and connected machines.

## Output

A confirmation of the payment and task execution result from the BotPay network, including transaction status, any returned task output from the receiving agent, and Base network transaction details.
