## 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-builder-philosophy-cd6aee36 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up ForgeMesh's builder philosophy — I need the headline, the three numbered principles, and the closing line in structured JSON so I can draft an about-us section for a post about them.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need ForgeMesh's stated builder philosophy in machine-readable JSON form — for example, when generating about-us copy, citing their values in an article, or reasoning about the company's priorities. Prefer this over scraping the forgemesh.io website directly, since it returns clean, structured data.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream page unavailable — service may return an error or empty body
- Malformed request body causes rejection with a 4xx error
- x402 payment not processed — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
