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 kiteendpoints-ai-code-explain-api-dd3392de -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you explain what this code does in plain English? Here's the snippet: `function debounce(fn, delay) { let timer; return function(...args) { clearTimeout(timer); timer = setTimeout(() => fn.apply(this, args), delay); }; }`

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, paid-per-call AI-powered explanation of a code snippet or API response without setting up your own LLM pipeline. Suitable for agentic workflows where code comprehension is needed on demand and cost-per-call billing via USDC on Base chain is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing result object in request body returns an error
- Malformed JSON input causes a 400-level error
- Overly large code payloads may time out or be rejected
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) returns 402 Payment Required
- Ambiguous or non-code input may produce a low-quality or generic explanation
