## 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 oblique-markets-mpp-native-task-router-530eacf5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find me the top three paid services that can summarize a PDF document — I want results in JSON, I'm on Base, and I don't want to pay more than $0.05 per call.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to dynamically discover and compare paid API providers for an arbitrary task at runtime, especially when operating within the x402/MPP micropayment ecosystem and needing structured MCP schema compatibility, health signals, and operator attribution rather than a static hardcoded integration.

## Known failure modes

- No matching providers found for the task description
- Price cap too low to match any available providers
- Unsupported preferred_chain value leads to empty result set
- Malformed or overly vague task string results in poor routing quality
- Service temporarily unavailable causing 402 or 5xx response
- Catalog snapshot stale — returned providers may have changed their pricing or availability

## How this service works

Use when an agent needs mpp route. Returns MPP-native catalog-first task router: paid top-three shortlist with prices, payment methods, MCP schemas, health metadata and operator source attribution. $0.01.

## Output

A ranked shortlist of the top three API providers matching the given task, each entry containing pricing, accepted payment methods, MCP-compatible schema definitions, health/uptime metadata, and operator source attribution — returned in the requested format (JSON, markdown, or text).
