## 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-payroll-cap-check-9663862d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a payroll cap check using the DDG agent-payable service? I need to submit a POST request with JSON body to verify whether the payroll cap is within limits.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically verify payroll cap status within the DDG agent-payable ecosystem, particularly when operating under x402 payment rails and requiring a machine-payable micro-transaction validation step.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'input' or 'output' fields returns a 400 validation error
- Invalid HTTP method (not POST/PUT/PATCH) causes schema rejection
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required
- Malformed JSON body results in a parse error
- Network timeout if the service is temporarily unavailable

## 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 a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean field indicating whether the payroll cap check passed, along with any additional output fields defined in the response schema.
