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 cortexcloud-automation-webhook-b80f7b57
```

Example prompt: Send a webhook to https://hooks.myapp.com/events with the JSON payload {"event":"order_placed","order_id":"12345"} and set the Content-Type header to application/json — use idempotency key order-12345.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to fire an outbound webhook to an arbitrary URL as part of an automated workflow, without needing a persistent API key or signup. It is especially useful when the agent is coordinating multi-step automations and needs to notify or invoke external systems (CRMs, CI/CD pipelines, Zapier, Slack, etc.) on a pay-per-use basis settled in USDC on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is unreachable or returns a non-2xx status — reflected in response body
- Invalid or malformed URL input causes a 400-level error
- Payload is not serializable or incompatible with the target endpoint
- Idempotency key collision if a prior call with the same key is still in flight
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient

## Output

Returns a JSON object reflecting the response received from the target webhook URL, including status and any response body returned by the remote server. The response schema is a generic JSON object; the exact structure depends on what the target URL returns.
