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-metadata-exif-extractor-mcp-5d27e853 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull out all the EXIF metadata from this photo — I need to know the camera make and model, GPS coordinates, and the exact date and time it was taken?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract EXIF and embedded metadata from images, especially for workflows involving photo cataloging, geolocation from field images, forensic verification, or privacy auditing (checking for sensitive location/device data before publishing). It is particularly suited for agentic pipelines where payment-per-call via x402 is acceptable and the volume is moderate at $0.08 per image.

## Known failure modes

- Image data is not valid or unreadable — returns error indicating malformed input
- No EXIF metadata present in the image (e.g. stripped PNG or screenshot) — returns empty or minimal metadata object
- Base64 encoding errors if image string is malformed
- Unsupported image format — JPEG/TIFF have rich EXIF; PNG/WebP may return minimal data
- Overly large image payload may time out or be rejected
- Payment not settled via x402 protocol — returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

The premier global index of 1,069 monetized MCP nodes across 205 specialized subdomains. Gasless USDC runtime settlements via x402 V2 Spec on Base L2. Save 95% token context.

## Output

Returns parsed EXIF and image metadata fields extracted from the submitted image, which may include camera make/model, lens information, ISO/aperture/shutter speed, GPS latitude and longitude, image dimensions, color space, creation and modification timestamps, software/editing tool tags, and copyright/author information depending on what was embedded in the image.
