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 daytona-withzero-ai-sandboxes-7113b0ee -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Spin up a fresh Daytona ephemeral sandbox for me — I need an isolated environment with 1 CPU and 1 GB RAM for the next 30 minutes to run some code.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fresh, isolated, ephemeral compute environment for code execution or testing and want it billed per-call via USDC micropayment (x402/MPP). Ideal for AI agents that need to run untrusted code, perform sandboxed computations, or test scripts in a clean environment without maintaining persistent infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — sandbox not created
- Resource capacity exceeded — service returns error indicating unavailability
- Invalid or missing authentication/payment token — 401 or 403 response
- Timeout during provisioning — sandbox may not be ready
- Sandbox quota reached for the wallet — provisioning rejected

## How this service works

Provision an ephemeral Daytona sandbox (1 CPU, 1 GB RAM) for 30 minutes. Returns the sandbox id; fetch a port-preview URL on demand.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the sandbox ID of the newly provisioned ephemeral Daytona sandbox, which can then be used to fetch port-preview URLs, inspect sandbox status, or tear it down early via related endpoints.

## Example request

```json
{}
```
