## 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 outcry-strategic-ai-research-agent-c4967188 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I'm running a tenant union campaign in a mid-size city and need deep strategic advice — help me map out power dynamics, identify likely opposition, and develop a practical 3-phase organizing plan I can actually execute.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need deep, multi-turn strategic AI conversations specifically oriented toward political organizing, campaign planning, and activist strategy — not general-purpose AI chat. Best suited for complex, open-ended organizing questions that benefit from extended async processing rather than real-time responses. Ideal when the user is an organizer, activist, or campaigner who needs theory-to-action translation.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'messages' array returns a 400 validation error
- Invalid role values outside 'system', 'user', 'assistant' enum fail validation
- temperature above 2 or below 0 returns a parameter error
- max_tokens above 4096 exceeds limit and is rejected
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) returns a 402 error before processing begins
- Session ID polling returns still-in-progress status if polled too soon
- Expired or invalid sessionId on polling returns 404 or error response

## How this service works

Outcry is a strategic advisor for organizers. Run deep campaign conversations, sharpen political analysis, and move from theory to practical action.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a sessionId string and status 'in_progress'; the agent must then poll GET /api/agent/x402/research/{sessionId} to retrieve the full strategic analysis and conversation response once processing is complete.
