## 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 sixpath-code-explain-api-32d2dc21 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you explain what this code does in plain English? Here's the snippet: `def fibonacci(n): return n if n <= 1 else fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)`

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call natural language explanation of a code snippet without setting up a full LLM pipeline yourself. Suitable for one-off code comprehension tasks billed per request via USDC on Base chain.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'code' field returns an error
- Extremely large code snippets may time out or be truncated
- Non-code text input may yield unhelpful or inaccurate explanations
- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment on Base chain results in 402 response and no explanation returned
