## 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 kiteendpoints-ai-ai-image-generation-8ceda1bc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate an AI image of a futuristic cityscape at night with neon lights reflecting off wet streets, in a cinematic style.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-request AI image generation capability without a subscription, and you are operating in a crypto-native or x402 payment context on Base chain. Useful for agents that need occasional image generation without committing to a monthly API plan. Avoid if you need guaranteed SLA, known model provenance, detailed error reporting, or structured input/output schemas.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment — request rejected before processing
- Vague or policy-violating prompt — generation may fail or return an error
- Unknown underlying model errors — generic error wrapped in result object
- No schema validation on input means malformed requests may silently fail
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded on the underlying image generation provider
