## 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-defillama-protocols-6deef377 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full list of DeFi protocols from DefiLlama and show me their TVL rankings?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive list of DeFi protocols with TVL data and want to pay per request in USDC without managing a DefiLlama API key directly. Useful for agents needing on-demand DeFi market data without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- DefiLlama upstream API unavailable or rate-limited, returning an error or empty result
- Payment not processed correctly, resulting in 402 response
- Malformed response if DefiLlama changes its API schema
- Network timeout if the upstream data is slow to fetch

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a list of DeFi protocols tracked by DefiLlama, including their names, TVL figures, chains, and categories.
