# H3RETIK Cloud Ops VPS Session

> H3RETIK Cloud Ops VPS Session is a paid API for AI agents from h1dr4.dev, paid per call via x402, $2.7/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Rents a disposable 60-minute ephemeral VPS compute session (50 actions) for autonomous agents to run shell commands, crawlers, audits, and batch research jobs, billed at 2.70 USDC via x402 on Base.

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-ops-vps-session-c615c657 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Spin up a disposable H3RETIK Cloud Ops session in the EU region so I can run a batch of shell commands to audit an API endpoint and collect the output logs — charge the 2.70 USDC from my Base wallet.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs short-burst, privacy-first compute without a persistent VPS subscription — ideal for one-off crawler runs, OSINT workflows, audit scripts, on-chain probes, or batch research that must leave no long-lived infrastructure footprint. Prefer it over persistent cloud VMs when the job fits in 60 minutes and 50 actions, and when pay-per-use USDC billing on Base is acceptable. Not suitable for long-running jobs, stateful multi-session workflows, or GPU-intensive workloads.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — session not created
- Region unavailable — fallback to auto-proximity or error returned
- Session action limit (50) exceeded before job completes
- 60-minute TTL expires mid-job, truncating output collection
- Shell command syntax errors causing job failures with partial logs
- Network connectivity issues within ephemeral VM preventing web/API checks

## 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: Ops (60 min / 50 actions / 2.70 USDC). Operational disposable compute window for real agent work: command batches, research jobs, audits, crawler runs, and evidence collection.

## Output

Returns a live compute session context including session ID, assigned region, available action budget (up to 50 actions), command execution outputs, collected logs, and any artifacts produced during the 60-minute window before the machine automatically expires.
