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 kihustle-hmac-sha256-generator-dc1b284b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate an HMAC-SHA256 signature for the message 'order_id=12345&amount=99.99' using the secret key 'my-webhook-secret-key'.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-use HMAC-SHA256 hash computation without setting up your own cryptographic library — useful for webhook signature verification, API request signing, or data integrity checks in lightweight automation pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Missing message or secret key input returns an error
- Invalid or malformed request body causes processing failure
- Empty string inputs may return unexpected or empty hash results
- Network timeout on the POST request
