## 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 profitcollector-base64-encode-f31263d0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you base64-encode the text 'Hello, World!' for me?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, deterministic Base64 encoding of a plain text string inside an automated workflow or agent pipeline and want a simple paid API call rather than running a local encoding library. It is especially useful in sandboxed or restricted environments where standard library access is limited.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'text' field returns an error response
- Non-string input types may cause a validation error
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Network timeout on the api.bakhour.ca host

## How this service works

Decision-grade security/due-diligence outcome reports ($20-$100) plus deterministic paid utilities ($0.001+) for software agents and automated workflows.

## Output

A JSON object containing a single field 'encoded' with the Base64-encoded version of the input text string (e.g. {"encoded": "aGVsbG8="}).
