## 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 orbuis-pay-per-call-text-tools-ping-health-check-4de424b8
```

Example prompt: Ping the Orbuis text tools service to confirm it's up and that my x402 USDC payment on Base was accepted — I just want to verify the connection is working before I send real jobs.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint to verify end-to-end connectivity and x402 payment acceptance for the Orbuis text tools service before dispatching actual text workloads (summarize, extract JSON, ask). It is the lowest-cost way ($0.001 USDC) to confirm the payment pipeline and API are functional without consuming a meaningful text operation. Prefer it for health checks, wallet setup validation, or monitoring pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or malformed x402 header — service returns 402 Payment Required
- Insufficient USDC balance — payment rejected before response is returned
- Network timeout reaching agents.orbuis.com
- Invalid payment network (not Base or Arc) — payment may be declined
- Service downtime — no response or 5xx error returned

## How this service works

Text tools for AI agents, answered by Orbuis's own on-device model and sold per call over x402. No account or API key. Tools: Summarize text, Extract structured JSON, Ask. Pay in USDC on Base or Arc.

## Output

A JSON object with fields: 'ok' (boolean, true if service is healthy), 'paid' (boolean, true if the x402 USDC payment was accepted), 'message' (human-readable confirmation string), 'at' (ISO 8601 timestamp of the response), and 'service' (string identifying the provider as 'orbuis').
