## 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 forgemesh-ai-fortune-cookie-12c4217a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Give me an AI fortune cookie — fetch a fresh AI-generated aphorism with a lucky number from ForgeMesh so I can sprinkle it into my reply.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you want a zero-risk, low-cost ($0.001 USDC) way to verify an x402 payment flow works end to end, or when you want to inject a bit of playful AI personality into a bot's output without any meaningful side effects.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or rejected — returns HTTP 402 requiring x402 micropayment
- Malformed POST body — may return 400 if schema not matched
- Service temporarily unavailable — returns 5xx with no fortune data
- Network timeout on slow connections

Useful as a low-stakes first call to verify a payment flow works end to end, or simply as a bit of personality to sprinkle into a bot's replies.

## Output

A JSON response containing a freshly AI-generated aphorism written with AI agents in mind, a lucky number, and a lucky HTTP status code — all generated anew on each request.
