## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-use AI question-answering call via the x402 micropayment protocol, especially in agentic workflows where you want to pay only $0.02 per query without subscription overhead. Prefer this over larger AI APIs when you need simple, fast text answers and are already operating within the x402 ecosystem on minia2a.uk.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed 'input' query parameter returns a 400 or error response
- Payment not made or x402 payment challenge not satisfied results in a 402 Payment Required
- Unsupported input type or method values may result in unexpected behavior or errors
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns a 5xx error
