# CoCo Encode Tool

> CoCo Encode Tool is a paid API for AI agents from cocoeatsai.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).

Encodes input data (e.g. base64) and returns the encoded result as a JSON object

## Facts

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 coco-encode-tool-9dd9e262
```

Example prompt: Can you base64 encode the text 'hello world' using the CoCo encode tool and give me the result?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-call encoding service (e.g. base64) accessible via HTTP GET without running any local code. It suits agents operating in environments where local encoding libraries aren't available, or when you want a metered, auditable encoding call via the x402 micropayment protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameters may return an error or empty result
- Invalid input type not matching 'http' const will fail schema validation
- Service unavailability on a personal/lab domain could cause 5xx errors
- Payment not completed via x402 protocol results in 402 Payment Required response

## Output

Returns a JSON object with two fields: 'op' (the name of the encoding operation performed, e.g. 'base64') and 'result' (the encoded output string, e.g. 'ZXhhbXBsZQ==').
