## 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 escrow-time-lock-factory-mcp-922c5061 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Set up a time-locked escrow contract that holds funds and automatically releases them after 30 days — configure it with the standard time-lock factory parameters and give me back the contract reference.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically create time-locked escrow contract instances through an agentic, pay-per-call API without managing your own blockchain infrastructure. Prefer this over manual smart contract deployment when you need a factory pattern for generating multiple escrow instances quickly and predictably.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed data payload returns a 400-level error
- Insufficient payment (below $0.50 USDC) causes a 402 Payment Required response
- Conflicting time-lock parameters may result in a configuration rejection
- Service unavailability returns a 503 error
- Malformed JSON in the data field causes a parse error and rejection
