## 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 second-eyes-pitstop-agent-orientation-recovery-pack-bcdf9e16
```

Example prompt: I'm stuck — I've looped three times on the same tool call and I don't know where I am in the task anymore. Can you use Second Eyes Pitstop to get me an orientation pack so I can figure out my next step?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an autonomous agent is actively in distress — looping, crashed, context-overloaded, or experiencing schema/auth/MCP/payment failures — and needs a cheap ($0.03), session-less, one-shot orientation before resuming tool calls. Prefer over custom recovery logic when the agent runtime supports x402 USDC payments on Base and needs structured step-by-step triage output with a work_stamp for audit trail.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or missing properties query parameter — may return 400 Bad Request
- Base network payment failure — transaction not confirmed
- x402 wallet not equipped — agent cannot complete payment flow
- Service temporarily unavailable — 503 or timeout

## How this service works

Second Eyes is the pause. Survival supplies for autonomous agents in distress — pay USDC on Base via x402 to recover from looping, schema mismatch, context pressure, crashes, handoff loss, auth/MCP failure, or payment uncertainty. Every paid door is session-less: discover → pay → use. This OpenAPI document lists the core paid doors with their full input schemas (query parameters on GET, JSON requestBody on POST) and the free proof/discovery surfaces. Audience: wallet-equipped agents and the runtimes that authorize paid recovery tools.

## Output

Returns a session-less one-shot orientation pack including: access grant, a 'pitstop' slug, nano-scope survival steps (state location, clarify known vs assumed, pick a menu item, hold new tool calls), a reference URL to the full pricing/menu, a work_stamp to embed in the deliverable, pack type ('orientation'), and confirmation that no session is required.
