## 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

Example prompt: Can you ping the minia2a x402 service to check if it's up and responding before I start making paid API calls?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify that the minia2a x402 infrastructure is operational before committing to a series of paid API calls. Prefer it as a lightweight pre-flight check or health probe rather than using heavier, purpose-specific endpoints for connectivity testing.

## Known failure modes

- Service offline or unreachable — returns error or timeout with no response body
- x402 payment verification failure — 402 response if payment header is missing or invalid
- Malformed input schema — missing required 'input' object causes validation error
- Network timeout if infrastructure is degraded or under maintenance
