## 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-hex-convert-4e2d1869 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you decode this hex string for me — 48656c6c6f20576f726c64 — and tell me what text it represents?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs a quick, paid-per-call hex encode/decode operation without standing up its own transformation logic, especially in x402-native payment workflows where micro-billing per conversion is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid hex string (odd-length or non-hex characters) returns an error
- Missing or malformed input body returns 400
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC returns 402
- Ambiguous encoding direction if not specified may produce unexpected output

## How this service works

Encode/decode hex for $0.002 USDC for $0.002 USDC. Call when you need this bounded result without an API key or subscription. Returns machine-readable JSON via x402 on Base or Solana. Limitation: results cover only the supplied input or one bounded public endpoint at request time; callers must verify before acting.

## Output

Returns the converted value — either a plain-text string decoded from the provided hex input, or a hexadecimal string encoded from the provided raw text/binary input.
