## 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-qwc7go4tk-recoupable-ad724970-vercel-app-86a3483f
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call AI image generation service accessible via a simple REST API with a single text prompt input and no upfront subscription, especially in agentic workflows that support x402 micropayment protocols.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'prompt' field returns a 400 validation error
- Prompt too long or containing disallowed content may be rejected
- Service unavailability or cold-start latency on Vercel may cause timeouts
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 Payment Required before image is generated
- Ambiguous or very short prompts may produce low-quality or unexpected images
