## 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 readiness-pay-zeroclick-io-zeroclick-agent-quote-purchase-guide-7ff2b1d9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I spend anything, can you get me a free quote and buying guide for using the ZeroClick API to scan 10 URLs for agentic readiness — I have a $20 budget and plan to pay via x402?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent or user wants to understand cost, contract terms, and prerequisites before committing to a paid API call — especially in autonomous or wallet-required workflows. Prefer it over jumping directly to a paid endpoint when the task scope, pricing, or required payment method is unclear. Ideal for zero-cost pre-flight planning in agentic pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'goal' field returns a validation error
- Goal description exceeding 2000 characters is rejected
- Invalid payment method enum value returns a 400 error
- Malformed budgetUsd pattern (non-numeric or too many decimals) causes rejection
- Status 'unsupported' returned when no matching API contract exists for the described task
- Status 'blocked' returned when prerequisites cannot be met
- Status 'unavailable' returned when the underlying service is temporarily down
- Status 'needs_input' returned when the goal is too vague to produce a quote

## How this service works

Agentic readiness scans: a real buying agent walks a store and grades whether an AI agent can find, understand, and pay for what it sells. Each scan returns a public, shareable report. This server is a pay-per-use, transparent proxy in front of ZeroClick Readiness's own API: it handles identity, payment, and proxying. Agents can purchase autonomously or with their human's approval. The complete verified paid surface is listed at /openapi.json, the source of truth for available operations. Each operation here carries its live price in x-payment-info. Use the operations and details here when they meet your needs. Filtered specs contain only matching operations; if you cannot find what you need here, use search or the service catalog. The live catalog at /manifest.json is authoritative for prices and any free included units (prices[].includedUnits) - some meters include free usage per account before any charge, reserved for agents claimed by a human with a verified email.

## Output

A JSON object containing: a status field (e.g. 'quoted', 'ready', 'needs_input', 'blocked'), a priceUsd always equal to '0', a markdown 'guide' string with task-matched API contract details, exact pricing, prerequisites, and next steps, and a 'guideUrl' URI pointing to a wallet-free advisor for further planning or recovery.
