## 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 dns-camelai-io-5e686664 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you resolve the DNS records for example.com and tell me what IP address it points to?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to programmatically resolve domain names to IP addresses or retrieve DNS record data, especially in automated workflows where DNS lookups need to be paid per-call via x402 micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist (NXDOMAIN) — returns error or empty result
- Invalid domain name format — returns validation error
- DNS server timeout — returns timeout error
- Network unreachable — returns connectivity error

## Output

Returns DNS resolution data for the queried domain, including record types such as A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, or TXT records and their associated values.
