## 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 chat-anchor-x402-com-f0b6588e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Read the aura of my new DeFi protocol called 'VaultZero' — give me the color, tier, score out of 9999, and a description of its energy.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you want a fun, gamified, or creative aura/vibe assessment of any subject — text, concept, address, idea, or artifact — returning a structured tier+score+color+description output. Prefer it over plain sentiment analysis or letter-grade endpoints when the user specifically wants mystical/aura framing with a numeric score and color dimension.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing subject input returns an error
- Very long or malformed input may be truncated or rejected
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) results in 402 Payment Required
- Network or provider downtime returns 5xx error
