## 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 limitguard-trust-scoring-indie-key-upgrade-052ba373
```

Example prompt: Upgrade my LimitGuard API key to the indie tier so I can access up to 8 data sources for real-time trust scoring on my agents and transactions.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to upgrade an existing LimitGuard API key to the indie tier to unlock access to up to 8 data sources for real-time trust scoring. Use this rather than other tier endpoints if the indie plan's price point and data source count meets your requirements and you do not need enterprise-level access.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient payment (402) — payment of $29 USDC not received or failed
- Invalid or expired API key — key not recognized or already at a higher tier
- Already upgraded — key already at indie or higher tier level
- Network timeout — service unavailable or slow to respond
- Malformed request — required input fields missing or invalid
