## 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 pyfile-x402-api-encrypted-secret-delete-dead-drop-e6965321 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Delete the dead drop secret with ID 'abc123xyz' from the Pyfile encrypted storage so it can't be read again.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to explicitly delete a stored encrypted secret from Pyfile's dead drop system — either after retrieval, to revoke access, or to clean up secrets that should no longer be readable. Prefer this over letting secrets expire naturally when immediate destruction is required for security reasons.

## Known failure modes

- Secret ID not found — already deleted or never existed, returns error or deleted: false
- Missing or malformed secret ID in request body — returns 400-level error
- Payment failure via x402 — call not executed if USDC/XNO payment is rejected
- Unauthorized request — missing or invalid payment header
- Network timeout on the Tailscale-hosted endpoint

## How this service works

Pay-per-call endpoints for AI agents: web search, web-to-markdown reader, LLM chat completions, encrypted secret storage with one-read dead drops, and a business-idea generator. Payment over x402: USDC on Base, or XNO on nano:mainnet.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with 'ok: true' and 'deleted: true' confirming the secret has been permanently removed from storage. If the secret does not exist or was already deleted, an error or false status may be returned.
