## 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 scheduler-withzero-xyz-clone-task-spec-into-fresh-template-17a77676 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Clone the cron task with ID a3f2c1b0-1234-4abc-ab12-000000000001 into a fresh template so I can reuse its schedule and runtime settings — keep the env values masked.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you want to reuse the configuration of an existing task (including deleted or completed ones) as a starting point for a new task, without having to re-specify all fields. Prefer this over manually constructing a task spec when you know a good reference task already exists and want to safely copy its settings while masking sensitive env values.

## Known failure modes

- 404 if from_task_id does not exist or is not accessible
- 400 if from_task_id is not a valid UUID format
- 401/403 if authentication or ownership proof is missing or invalid
- 500 if internal cloning or KMS operation fails

## How this service works

Clone an existing task spec into a fresh template (env values masked). 📖 Full guide: https://scheduler.withzero.xyz/llms.txt

## Output

Returns a task spec template object containing the source task's schedule (cron expression and timezone), runtime, source, entrypoint, dependencies, tool_list, llm config, max_runtime_sec, max_sibling_calls, max_amount_usdc_micros, notify_email, and end_at. The env field is included but with values masked/redacted for security.
