## 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 orbonomy-dns-lookup-445cc5ac -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the A record for example.com using the DNS endpoint and tell me what IP it resolves to?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-call DNS resolution without managing your own DNS infrastructure, especially in x402-enabled agentic workflows that require on-demand domain record lookups

## Known failure modes

- Invalid DNS record type provided — query fails with error
- Domain does not exist or is unresolvable — NXDOMAIN response
- Malformed domain string — request validation error
- Network timeout reaching upstream DNS resolver
- Missing required fields (type or domain) — 400-level error
