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 image-compress-api-824794bf -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you compress this image for me? It's a JPEG that's currently around 450 KB and I need it reduced — send it as a JSON POST with the image in the body and give me back the compressed base64 version.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, pay-per-use image compression service accessible via HTTP POST that returns a base64-encoded result with before/after size metadata. Ideal for agents that need to compress individual images on-demand within a workflow without managing local image processing libraries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing image body returns an error
- Unsupported image format may cause processing failure
- Overly large payloads may time out or be rejected
- Malformed JSON body returns a 400-level error
- Payment not fulfilled returns a 402 Payment Required response

## How this service works

Image processing for AI agents

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: 'image' (base64-encoded compressed image string), 'format' (output format, e.g. 'jpeg'), 'original_kb' (original file size in kilobytes), and 'compressed_kb' (resulting compressed file size in kilobytes).
