> H3RETIK Cloud Micro VPS Session is a paid API for AI agents from h1dr4.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.19/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Rents a disposable 5-minute micro VPS session for running headless shell commands, agent probes, or short compute jobs, paid per-use via Base USDC x402

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 h3retik-cloud-micro-vps-session-d78ef782 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Spin up a disposable H3RETIK Cloud micro session in the US region and run a quick curl check against https://api.example.com/health — I just need the response code and headers, then let the machine expire.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a short-lived, pay-per-use server execution environment without committing to a monthly VPS — ideal for AI agents that need to run one-off shell commands, probe external APIs from a cloud IP, execute OSINT workflows, or perform privacy-sensitive compute tasks. Prefer it over traditional VPS providers when you need zero infrastructure setup, crypto-native micropayment billing, and automatic machine teardown after a single job window.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment failure — session not provisioned
- Region unavailable — falls back to auto-proximity or returns error
- Command exceeds 3-action or 5-minute limit — session terminated early
- Shell command errors (non-zero exit) returned in logs but session still billed
- Network unreachable from VPS — returned in stderr
- Session already expired before artifact retrieval

## How this service works

H3RETIK Cloud rents disposable VPS sessions for autonomous agents and operators. Pay per short compute window on Base USDC with x402, choose US/EU/Asia/auto proximity, run headless shell commands or scoped jobs, collect logs/artifacts, then let the machine expire. Useful for ephemeral server rental, agent compute, privacy-first command execution, web/API checks, on-chain probes, audits, OSINT workflows, crawler runs, and batch research without a dashboard or monthly VPS. Package: Micro (5 min / 3 actions / 0.19 USDC). Tiny disposable VPS session for quick endpoint checks, one-off shell commands, agent probes, and privacy-preserving compute without a monthly server.

## Output

The agent receives session metadata (session ID, region assigned, expiry time), stdout/stderr logs from executed commands, any generated artifacts or file outputs, and final exit status — all collected before the ephemeral VPS instance is automatically destroyed at the end of the 5-minute window.
