## 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 molcloud-ai-vision-analysis-1e9c8e0f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you analyze this image and extract all the visible text from it? Here's the URL: https://example.com/invoice-scan.jpg — describe what you see and pull out every word you can read.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-use image analysis or OCR without a subscription, paid via USDC on Base using x402. It is ideal for autonomous agents that occasionally need to interpret images, read text from photos, or answer questions about visual content, especially when operating within an x402-native payments stack on MolCloud.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible image URL returns an error response
- Malformed base64 input may cause a decoding failure
- Image too large or unsupported format may result in a processing error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance or x402 negotiation failure) blocks the request
- Ambiguous or very low-resolution images may yield poor or incomplete text extraction

## How this service works

41 pay-per-request AI, search, headless browser, crypto alpha & memory APIs for autonomous agents settling in USDC on Base via x402 v2.

## Output

A JSON object with a 'data.analysis' field containing a natural-language description of the image and any extracted visible text, along with a 'status' field ('success') and the endpoint path confirming the call.
