## 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 ephemeral-vpn-session-mcp-e76e2de9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you spin up a temporary VPN session for me so I can securely route my next web request through an ephemeral tunnel?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a short-lived, disposable VPN session programmatically — especially in agentic workflows requiring temporary anonymization, geo-routing, or secure tunneling without managing persistent VPN infrastructure. Prefer this over persistent VPN solutions when you need fire-and-forget sessions with no long-term commitment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed data input returns an error response
- Session provisioning failure if backend VPN infrastructure is unavailable
- Session expiry if not used within the allocated time window
- Rate limiting errors if too many sessions are requested in a short period
- Authentication or payment failure resulting in 402 response
