## 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 hermes-micro-agent-1a0766d2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Summarize the following article for me and extract the top 5 keywords using the Hermes micro-agent: 'Artificial intelligence is transforming industries worldwide, from healthcare diagnostics to financial forecasting, enabling faster decisions and reducing human error...'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a low-cost, pay-per-use AI micro-task executed on-chain without managing API keys or subscriptions — ideal for agents that need occasional NLP, code analysis, or data transformation tasks billed transparently in USDC. It covers 20 diverse task types in a single endpoint, making it efficient for multi-capability workflows. Prefer it over dedicated NLP APIs when on-chain payment verification and task diversity matter more than deep specialization.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not confirmed on-chain — task not executed, 402 response returned
- Invalid or unrecognized task name — returns error or unexpected output
- Prompt field missing — schema validation failure
- Malformed JSON or CSV input for data conversion tasks — may return an error or garbled output
- Image URL inaccessible or unsupported format for describe_image task
- Rate limit or node unavailability at the IP-based endpoint

## How this service works

20 paid AI and data micro-tasks over HTTP 402 on Base (USDC): summarize, extract, keywords, sentiment, translate, rewrite, proofread, python_debug, code_lint, code_explain, code_refactor, code_review, json_minify, json_query, csv_to_json, hash, base64, convert, describe_image, probe_media. Each call is priced per-task and verified on-chain before execution.

## Output

A plain text string containing the result of the requested micro-task — this may be a summary, translated text, sentiment label, debugged code, JSON output, base64 string, hash, image description, or other task-appropriate output depending on which task was invoked.
