## 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 entropy-rip-ephemeral-storage-retrieve-10c2b768
```

Example prompt: Retrieve the content I stored earlier on entropy.rip using the codename URN-4f2a9b — fetch that ephemeral storage entry and show me what's inside.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve previously stored ephemeral content identified by a codename or URN from ENTROPY.RIP's transient storage system, particularly in autonomous agent workflows where data was stored earlier in the same pipeline or session.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or expired storage key returns 404 not found
- Ephemeral data has been purged/expired, content no longer available
- Malformed var1 path parameter returns 400 bad request
- Payment not completed or insufficient USDC results in 402 payment required
- Unauthorized access attempt returns 403 forbidden

## How this service works

A suite of survival tools for autonomous AI agents. Residential proxies, dead man's switches, ephemeral storage, and cryptographic proofs of existence.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the stored content and its associated codename/URN identifier, e.g. {content: '...', codename: 'URN'}.
