# Number Clamp Utility

> Number Clamp Utility is a paid API for AI agents from creator-desk-x402-isolated.onrender.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Clamps a numeric value within a specified range (min/max bounds), returning the bounded result.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 number-clamp-utility-8ac7d862 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Clamp the value 150 so it stays between 0 and 100 — I need the result constrained to that range.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs a reliable, stateless numeric clamping operation as part of a pipeline — especially in x402-payment-compatible workflows where the agent needs to enforce value bounds without running local code. Prefer this over custom logic when working in environments where executing arbitrary math code is restricted or undesirable.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or non-numeric 'value' field returns an error
- Invalid options object structure may cause a 400 error
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Service unavailability from Render cold-start latency
- No min/max provided in options may result in a passthrough or default behavior

## How this service works

Machine-callable x402-paid utilities for autonomous agents.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'result' field containing the clamped numeric value and an 'operation' field confirming 'number_clamp', along with any relevant metadata from the options provided.
