## 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 k-2so-algorand-x402-rail-purchase-decision-procedure-b8acdb35
```

Example prompt: Give me the decision procedure for whether my autonomous agent should purchase access via the Algorand x402 rail — I want the full prose brief so I can decide if Algorand is the right payment network for my agent.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs a structured, prose decision procedure specifically for evaluating the Algorand x402 payment rail — not just raw chain data or generic Algorand docs. It is ideal for agents operating in x402 merchant ecosystems that need actionable guidance rather than raw data, and where per-call micropayment (USDC on Base) is acceptable. Prefer this over generic web search when you need a reliable, agent-optimized brief with a consistent schema.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 returned if payment signature is missing or incorrect — agent must settle exact USDC and retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header
- Invalid or malformed payment signature returns payment error detail in response body
- Unsupported HTTP method (POST, PUT, etc.) rejected — only GET/HEAD/DELETE allowed
- meta=1 returns free metadata JSON without payment, not the full decision procedure
- LLM generation failure may return ok:false with partial or empty brief field
- Network or provider downtime at k2so.wrong.systems causes connection errors

## How this service works

Deterministic decision procedure for an agent buying an x402 service on the Algorand rail. Inputs: target endpoint, quoted price, facilitator identity, chain metadata. Outputs: pay / do-not-pay / needs-review with evidence. Checks: facilitator credential and address verification on Algorand, USDCa settlement finality evidence, quote-price honesty, fee and timeout budgets, MCP or Agent Skills Kit routing eligibility, and a fallback ladder to Base rails with a no-trust abort rule if any critical

## Output

A JSON object containing a plain-prose decision procedure (120+ words) tailored to the Algorand x402 rail, including the model used to generate it, the topic, the service slug, a generation timestamp, the generation source (llm, reasoning, or deterministic), and payment confirmation metadata.
