## 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 daytona-withzero-ai-id-725e971c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I'm done with my Daytona sandbox — go ahead and delete sandbox ID abc123 so the resources get freed up.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to explicitly terminate and clean up a Daytona ephemeral sandbox before its 30-minute natural expiry, or when you want to immediately free resources after finishing work in the sandbox.

## Known failure modes

- Sandbox ID not found — sandbox may have already expired or been deleted
- Unauthorized — missing or invalid payment/auth credentials
- Sandbox currently in a state that cannot be deleted (e.g. provisioning in progress)
- Network timeout reaching the Daytona service

## Output

Returns a JSON object confirming the sandbox has been deleted. The sandbox and its associated resources (CPU, RAM) are permanently deallocated.
