## 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 open-research-agent-standard-research-report-dada6bb8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you write me a standard research report on the economic impacts of autonomous vehicles on urban transportation systems? I need cited sources and a solid overview, not an exhaustive deep dive.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, well-cited research report on a topic and do not require adversarial verification or multi-pass deep analysis. It is faster and cheaper than the deep research sibling endpoint, making it ideal for initial scoping, briefings, or cases where a solid single-pass synthesis is sufficient. Prefer the deep research endpoint when the question is high-stakes, nuanced, or requires cross-checking conflicting sources.

## Known failure modes

- Query too short (below 10 characters) — validation error returned
- Query too long (over 4000 characters) — input rejected
- Ambiguous or overly broad query may produce shallow results
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — request not processed
- Service unavailability or rate limiting — HTTP 5xx error

## How this service works

AI-generated standard research report (Open Research Agent)

## Output

A structured, AI-generated research report that provides a cited, synthesized answer to the submitted research question. The report is produced in a single pass (not adversarially verified), making it fast and suitable for quick briefings, overviews, or baseline research on a topic.
