## 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

Example prompt: Generate a GitHub Actions workflow that runs my Python test suite with pytest on every pull request and push to main, then deploys to Heroku if tests pass.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call GitHub Actions YAML scaffold without signing up for a service. Ideal for agents automating DevOps setup, onboarding new repos, or generating CI/CD templates on demand. Prefer over general-purpose LLMs when you want a dedicated, cost-transparent ($0.004/call) inference call with no rate-limit concerns tied to a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Task description too vague to produce a meaningful workflow — returns a generic or incomplete YAML
- Task description exceeds 2000 character limit — request rejected with validation error
- Payment not completed — 402 response requiring crypto payment before content is returned
- Model produces syntactically incorrect YAML for highly complex or ambiguous tasks
