## 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 ddg-dns-lookup-5044dd0f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you do a DNS lookup for example.com and tell me what IP address it resolves to?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to programmatically resolve hostnames to IP addresses or retrieve DNS records as part of a workflow, especially when a micro-payment per query model is acceptable and the agent operates within the x402 payment-enabled ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist — NXDOMAIN response
- Network timeout if DNS server is unreachable
- Invalid hostname format returns error
- DNS lookup failure for malformed domain strings
- Service unavailable if backend DNS resolver is down

## How this service works

Machine-payable DDG services for AI agents. Current public live payment rails are x402 multi-chain USDC and direct-crypto auto/manual for public receiving-address families. MPP/Stripe/Tempo is installed but pending live provider env plus penny-settlement proof before any MPP-live advertisement. DDG sells bounded artifacts/results, not raw provider account access.

## Output

Returns DNS resolution data for the queried hostname, including IP addresses, record types, and associated DNS record information such as TTL values.
