## 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 crypto-funds-backing-ai-companies-without-token-chain-decision-brief-ff78d9e2
```

Example prompt: Give me a blunt decision procedure brief on how to evaluate an AI company that just got backed by three crypto funds but has no token, no blockchain, and no plans for either — I need to know whether this is a legitimate signal or a red flag.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs a structured, blunt decision procedure specifically about crypto funds investing in AI companies without any on-chain component. Prefer it over general crypto research tools when you want an opinionated, agent-optimized brief rather than raw data. Best suited for autonomous agents that need a quick, pre-reasoned framework rather than building their own analysis from scratch.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed — endpoint requires $0.002 USDC x402 payment, returns 402 if unpaid
- Invalid query parameter values for 'meta' or 'topic' fields cause schema validation errors
- LLM generation failure may result in ok:false with no brief returned
- Network timeout or provider downtime returns a 5xx error
- Using a non-GET HTTP method returns an error per schema enum restriction

## How this service works

Paid agent-facing brief on Three crypto funds just backed an AI company with no token, no chain, and no pla. Blunt decision procedure, not marketing.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object containing a 'brief' field with decision procedure prose tailored for agents, plus metadata including the topic, model used, generation source (llm/reasoning/deterministic), and ISO-8601 generatedAt timestamp. Also includes payment confirmation fields and service/provider identifiers.
