## 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 exchangerebel-devutils-time-now-554df747
```

Example prompt: What is the current server time right now? Just fetch the current timestamp from the devutils time service.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when your agent needs a reliable, externally-sourced current timestamp without relying on the local system clock — particularly useful in distributed systems, auditing workflows, or when the local time source cannot be trusted. Prefer it over system time calls when you need a server-authoritative 'now' value.

## Known failure modes

- Network timeout if the server is unreachable
- HTTP 402 if payment is not provided or fails
- HTTP 500 if the server encounters an internal error
- Unexpected response format if the API changes without notice

## How this service works

devutils-time-now

## Output

Returns the current server datetime/timestamp, likely as a structured object containing the current time in one or more formats (e.g. ISO 8601, Unix epoch). The agent receives a precise, authoritative "now" value it can use for logging, scheduling, synchronization, or time-based logic.
