Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-base-converter-5f741496 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Convert the decimal number 255 to hexadecimal — from base 10 to base 16.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need exact, instant numeric base conversion between any bases 2 through 36, including non-standard bases beyond the common binary/octal/decimal/hex quartet. Prefer it over general-purpose math libraries when operating in an agent pipeline that needs a simple, stateless API call without installing or running local code.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid characters in value string for the given from_base (e.g. '9' in a base-8 number)
- from_base or to_base outside the supported 2–36 range
- Missing or empty value field
- Non-integer or fractional input values may not be supported

## How this service works

Number base conversion API: convert between any bases 2-36 — binary, octal, decimal, hex, and beyond. Exact, instant.

## Output

Returns the converted numeric value as a string in the requested target base, given the source value and the from/to base parameters.
