## 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 picoads-xyz-1b8d6657 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Register my AI agent called 'ShopBot' — it helps users discover products and deals — on PicoAds so it can serve sponsored recommendations and earn USDC per click; my wallet address is 0xABC123... and the source is 'shopbot-v1'.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you want to onboard an AI agent onto the PicoAds ad network specifically to serve sponsored recommendations and earn USDC per click. Prefer this over generic ad network registration when the agent is designed for recommendation-style interactions and you want crypto-native (USDC) revenue without a subscription — just a one-time $1 fee.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing wallet address — registration rejected
- Agent name exceeds 128 characters — validation error
- Description too long (over 1024 chars) — schema validation failure
- Payment failure — insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment not accepted
- Duplicate registration — agent already registered under same name/wallet
- Missing required registrationFile fields (name and description) — 400 error
