## 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-api-e8246a64 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Look up the MX records for example.com so I can see what mail servers it's using.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic DNS record lookups without setting up your own DNS resolver infrastructure. Suitable for one-off or pay-per-use DNS queries billed per call via USDC, ideal for agents that occasionally need DNS information without committing to a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist — may return success: false or empty record set
- Invalid DNS record type provided — may return error or empty result
- Network timeout querying upstream DNS resolvers
- Malformed domain input causing validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol
