## 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 settle-programmable-escrow-contract-draft-c9b05647 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Set up an escrow contract for a coding task: commit 50 USDC from wallet 0xClientABC to provider wallet 0xProviderXYZ, with the condition that PR #42 in repo 'acme-org/backend' is merged — the task is 'Implement OAuth login flow'.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to create a trust-minimized, condition-based escrow contract draft for agent or freelance work — especially when payment should be held until a verifiable condition (like a GitHub PR merge) is met. Prefer this over generic payment APIs when you need programmable, conditional settlement with on-chain wallets and USDC/USDG amounts.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'task' field returns validation error
- Invalid or missing wallet addresses cause contract draft failure
- Unsupported condition_type value may result in unrecognized condition error
- Amount fields set to zero or negative values may be rejected
- Network or server error returns non-200 response with no draft object

## How this service works

Programmable escrow API for agent work. Commit funds upfront, verify a condition, and settle after payout confirmation.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean, a 'draft' object containing the escrow contract details, an optional 'payment' object, and a 'next_steps' array listing what to do next to finalize and activate the escrow.
