## 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 recoup-ai-chat-agent-de1c4445 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Hey, can you ask the Recoup AI agent to help me figure out the best way to recover funds from a cancelled project — give it full context and let it use whatever tools it needs to come up with a plan?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a general-purpose AI agent that can not only respond conversationally but also invoke tools to complete real tasks. Prefer it over static LLM endpoints when the task requires searching, computing, or executing steps beyond simple text generation. Best for agentic workflows where the cost-per-call model is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or incorrect — 402 Payment Required response
- Message input missing or malformed — 400 Bad Request
- Agent timeout due to long-running tool chains — 504 Gateway Timeout
- Upstream AI model unavailable — 503 Service Unavailable
- Insufficient USDC balance — payment rejected before agent runs
