## 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 motivational-quote-api-api-mekongtradeintel-com-e722ac33 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you grab me a fresh motivational quote to display on my dashboard right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, disposable motivational or inspirational text snippet for agent UIs, status messages, or dashboards and want to pay per-call at very low cost ($0.001 USDC). It is not suitable when you need curated, category-specific, or author-filtered quotes, or when you need guaranteed uniqueness across calls.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 if payment is not attached or USDC balance is insufficient
- Empty or malformed response body if the quote generation service is unavailable
- Timeout if the upstream provider is slow to respond
- Invalid input schema returns a 400-level error

## Output
