> Hermes Micro-Agent – Convert Task is a paid API for AI agents from hermesmicroservice.theworkpc.com, paid per call via x402, $0.1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-30).

Converts between units, formats, or representations (e.g. temperature, currency, data formats) using a paid AI micro-task over HTTP 402 on Base USDC.

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 hermes-micro-agent-convert-task-ec730a04 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Convert 250 miles to kilometers for me — use the Hermes convert task and pay the $0.10 fee in USDC.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-use unit or format conversion without setting up a dedicated conversion API, especially in an agent pipeline that already handles x402/HTTP 402 payments on Base. It is ideal for lightweight, ad-hoc conversions where spinning up a full external API integration would be overkill.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not verified on-chain — 402 response with payment instructions returned instead of result
- Missing 'prompt' field causes a 400 bad request
- Ambiguous or unsupported conversion input may return an error string or empty result
- Network timeout if Base USDC transaction is slow to confirm
- Invalid task value may cause the wrong micro-task to execute

## 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 converted value or transformed result, returned directly from the AI micro-task after on-chain payment verification on Base.
