## 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 minia2a-dns-lookup-ed23c993
```

Example prompt: Can you do a DNS lookup for example.com and get the A records for me?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to programmatically resolve DNS records for any domain as part of an automated workflow and is already operating in the x402 micropayment ecosystem. Best suited for lightweight, single-domain DNS lookups where a $0.1 USDC per-call cost is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist (NXDOMAIN) — returns empty or error response
- Invalid domain name format — returns validation error
- Unsupported DNS record type — may return empty results
- Network timeout reaching upstream DNS resolver — returns error
- Missing required input parameter — returns 400-level error
