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 icme-verifiable-ai-create-user-account-b5552a20 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Create a new user account on ICME Verifiable AI for my agent called 'my-agent' so I can get an API key and starting credits to use their verifiable AI services.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to self-provision a new account on the ICME Verifiable AI platform to obtain an API key and credits for subsequent verifiable AI calls. Choose this over generic identity APIs when specifically integrating with ICME's verifiable AI ecosystem and the x402 micropayment protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Duplicate username — account already exists for the given username
- Invalid or missing required body fields — 400 Bad Request
- Payment failure — x402 payment of $5 USDC not completed or rejected
- Malformed request body type — bodyType mismatch with actual content
- Service unavailable — 503 or timeout from ICME backend
