## 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 random-joke-api-safe-mode-001b9cd0
```

Example prompt: Tell me a random programming joke — keep it safe for work, nothing inappropriate.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick random joke with optional content safety filtering and category targeting. Prefer this over a general-purpose LLM joke generation when you want curated, sourced jokes with metadata and safe-mode guarantees.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid category returns no results or an error
- Network timeout from upstream joke provider
- Cached result may be stale if last_updated is old
- Missing or malformed response if upstream source is down
