## 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-proofread-24d6d977 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you proofread this paragraph for me and fix any grammar, spelling, or punctuation mistakes: 'The team have worked very hard on there project and we beleive the results speeks for itself.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-use proofreading call without a subscription, and want on-chain USDC micropayment verification on Base. Ideal for agents that process occasional documents and want to avoid monthly API billing, or when building autonomous pipelines that need verifiable per-task payments.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing prompt field returns an error response
- Payment not verified on-chain results in HTTP 402 rejection and no task execution
- Extremely long text may be truncated or rejected
- Network timeout on the Base USDC payment verification step
- Malformed JSON request body returns a 400-level error
