## 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 model-fallback-negotiator-mcp-a48dc1dc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: My primary language model just became unavailable — can you run the fallback negotiator to figure out the best backup model I should route my requests to, given my current workload data?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when your agentic workflow depends on a specific AI model and you need automated, policy-driven fallback selection rather than hardcoding backup model logic yourself. Ideal for multi-model pipelines, high-availability agent systems, or when operating across providers with variable availability.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing input data field returns an error
- No suitable fallback model available for the given constraints
- Malformed request payload causes a processing failure
- Payment not received or x402 authorization fails, blocking the call
- Timeout if negotiation logic takes too long for complex inputs
