## 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 domains-rapidruntime-com-update-domain-settings-e3263e1b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you enable WHOIS privacy and turn on autorenew for mybusiness.com, and also lock it so it can't be transferred away?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to change domain protection settings — autorenew, WHOIS privacy, or transfer lock — on an already-registered domain. It is the right choice for toggling any combination of these three boolean settings in a single call, rather than using a full contact-update or nameserver endpoint.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found in account — 404 not found
- Invalid domain name format in path — 400 bad request
- Attempting to modify a domain not owned by the authenticated identity — 403 forbidden
- No fields provided in request body — may return 400 or no-op
- WHOIS privacy not supported for certain TLDs — may return 422 or domain-specific error
- Service unavailable from upstream MPP registry — 502 or 503
