> ForgeMesh Utility Grid — Daily Featured Endpoint Pick is a paid API for AI agents from x402.forgemesh.io, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

## 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-utility-grid-daily-featured-endpoint-pick-3acffb13 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the ForgeMesh Utility Grid's featured API pick for today — show me the route, what it does, the price, and its input schema so I can decide whether to call it.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to discover or sample what ForgeMesh Utility Grid offers without committing to the full fleet product sheet ($0.05). It is the cheapest entry point ($0.001) into the ForgeMesh catalog, ideal for daily briefings, automated API-discovery workflows, or agents that want to dynamically expand their toolset by surfacing new utility endpoints day by day.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format returns an error — must be YYYY-MM-DD
- Missing x402 payment results in a 402 challenge response that must be settled before the result is returned
- Future dates beyond the catalog's planned range may return unexpected results
- No result if the ForgeMesh fleet is offline or pool is unavailable

## How this service works

Daily pick from the ForgeMesh x402 catalog: a single featured paid endpoint chosen deterministically by UTC date from the full fleet pool. Response includes the featured route, USD price, schema, worked example, and a ready-to-run call pattern, plus where to fetch the featured service's full endpoint sheet. Cheapest recurring way to sample the fleet one capability at a time.

## Output

A JSON object containing the UTC date, the featured route (host, HTTP method, path, price, category, description, input schema, example output, product name, product ID), the rotation logic explanation, total pool size (547 routes), a link to the full fleet product sheet, and a 'try_it' instruction showing how to call the featured endpoint directly — all deterministic for the given date.
