## 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 mediaforge-hq-ai-image-generator-cb53261b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you generate a high-res image of a cozy coffee shop interior with warm lighting and exposed brick walls — make it 16:9 for a website hero banner?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to produce a finished, high-resolution visual asset — thumbnails, illustrations, product shots, concept art, game assets, hero images, or marketing graphics — from a text description. It supports common aspect ratios (1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:5), costs $0.10 USDC per call via x402, and delivers results asynchronously in ~10 seconds via a free polling endpoint. Prefer this over synchronous image APIs when result quality and resolution matter more than instant response, and over general-purpose image services when the x402 micropayment model fits your infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Prompt violates content policy (real-person likenesses, NSFW, trademarked content) — generation refused
- Ticket not yet ready when polling — status returns pending, agent must retry
- Invalid aspect_ratio value — may return 400 or default behavior
- Prompt too short (<3 chars) or too long (>2000 chars) — validation error
- Payment failure (x402) — 402 response before generation begins
- Service timeout or Cloudflare Worker cold start delay

## How this service works

Generate a finished, high-resolution AI image from a text brief. For agents that need visual assets: thumbnails, illustrations, product shots, concept art, game assets, hero images, marketing graphics. POST JSON {prompt, aspect_ratio} -> 202 with a ticket; poll GET /result/{ticket} (free) for hosted image URLs, ~10s. Content policy: no real-person likenesses, no NSFW, no trademarks.

## Output

A 202 response containing a ticket ID and estimated generation time (~10s). The agent then polls GET /result/{ticket} (free) to retrieve the final hosted image URLs and status once generation is complete.
