## 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 delx-array-drop-f86cf14b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I have this JSON array of rows and I want to skip the first 3 elements — can you drop those and give me the remaining items with a count?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, stateless, pay-per-call array slice operation with no infrastructure setup. Ideal for agents that need to skip headers, resume mid-list processing, or remove already-handled leading elements without writing custom code. Best for local JSON manipulation where no network fetch or external data source is involved.

## Known failure modes

- N exceeds array length — returns empty array with count 0
- Non-integer N — validation error
- Items field is not an array — schema validation error
- N is negative — may error or return full array depending on implementation

## How this service works

Drop the first N elements. Call when you skip headers or already-processed agent rows. Returns remaining items and count for $0.001 USDC via x402 on Base. No network, no keys, no retention; first-party local JSON only. Results are advisory; the caller owns budgets, auth, and production controls.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the remaining array elements after the first N have been removed, along with a count of how many items remain.
