## 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-philosophy-statement-machine-readable-json-58dc7893 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up ForgeMesh's founding philosophy — the headline, intro paragraphs, the three numbered principles, and the closing line — in structured JSON so I can cite it in my agent pipeline?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to programmatically access, cite, or reason about ForgeMesh's official founding philosophy in structured form — e.g., for context injection, onboarding flows, or values-alignment checks within an agent pipeline. Prefer this over scraping the human-readable forgemesh.io page since this returns clean, schema-consistent JSON designed for agent consumption.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not accepted or x402 flow fails — endpoint returns 402 with payment requirements
- Malformed POST body returns 400 validation error
- Upstream content unavailable returns 503 or empty response
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returns 429

## How this service works

ForgeMesh's founding philosophy in structured JSON: the headline, two intro paragraphs, three numbered principles, and the closing line, verbatim from forgemesh.io. The human-readable page is free; this is the machine-readable agent edition, for citing or reasoning about ForgeMesh's values inside an agent pipeline.

## Output

A structured JSON object containing ForgeMesh's philosophy verbatim from forgemesh.io: the headline, two intro paragraphs, three numbered principles (each as a labeled entry), and the closing line — formatted for direct consumption or citation inside an agent pipeline.
