## 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 mekong-trade-intel-server-time-api-f02517dd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current UTC time right now? I need a reliable server-side timestamp in ISO 8601 format.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your agent needs a neutral, server-authoritative UTC timestamp and cannot trust its own local system clock — for example, when logging events across distributed systems, enforcing deadlines, or when local time may be unreliable or spoofable. At $0.001 USDC it is the cheapest call on the platform.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure: insufficient USDC balance on Base results in 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout if server is temporarily unavailable
- Malformed request body returns 400 Bad Request

## How this service works

Trusted server time API for AI agents — ISO 8601 UTC timestamp, $0.001 USDC on Base per call. Use when your agent needs reliable current time.

## Output

A response containing the current server time as an ISO 8601 UTC timestamp (e.g. '2024-05-20T14:32:00Z'), giving the agent a reliable, server-authoritative clock reading independent of local system time.
