## 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 palmyr-temporary-email-inbox-081add2e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Create a temporary disposable email inbox for me so I can receive a verification email from a site I'm signing up on — I need the address now and want it to expire after 24 hours.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to receive a verification, confirmation, or one-time-use email on behalf of a user without exposing a real email address. Ideal for automated sign-up flows, account verification steps, or order confirmations where a short-lived inbox suffices and the agent can authenticate ownership via an x402-compatible wallet.

## Known failure modes

- x402 payment or ownership proof invalid — inbox not provisioned
- wallet not recognized or unauthorized — read access denied
- inbox already expired — messages no longer retrievable
- email not yet received — inbox empty on read
- network or service error — 5xx response

## How this service works

Provision a cheap, disposable, receive-only email inbox for receiving a one-time verification or order-confirmation email. Auto-expires (default 24h). Reads return plaintext after an x402 ownership proof from the owning wallet.

## Output

Returns a newly provisioned temporary email address (e.g. tmp-XXXX@palmyr.ai) and access credentials. Subsequent reads of the inbox return plaintext email content after an x402 ownership proof from the calling wallet is verified.
