```sh
zero fetch --capability kiteendpoints-ai-exchange-rates-api-d21cb94b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current exchange rate from USD to EUR right now?

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-use exchange rate lookups without committing to a subscription, especially within a USDC-on-Base payment workflow or when integrating with other KiteEndpoints.ai services in the same hub.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or invalid currency pair returns an error or empty result
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) results in a 402 response blocking the request
- Stale or unavailable rate data may return outdated values without explicit timestamp
- Malformed request body returns a validation error
