# SlidingBox One-Shot Encrypted Blob Hydrate

> SlidingBox One-Shot Encrypted Blob Hydrate is a paid API for AI agents from slidingbox.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Retrieves and permanently deletes a one-shot encrypted blob by pointer, invalidating the pointer immediately upon successful retrieval.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 slidingbox-one-shot-encrypted-blob-hydrate-a7dd9ca2
```

Example prompt: Fetch the one-shot encrypted blob at pointer sb_cNIOrvNUPyW-IMfNEKBY_AXx0CvFbCa88SKNzF5p61I from SlidingBox — I know it costs $0.02 USDC and it'll be permanently destroyed after retrieval.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to consume a pre-stored, one-shot encrypted secret that was shared via a SlidingBox pointer. Ideal for burn-after-reading secrets, single-use credential delivery, or any scenario where the sender intentionally wants the payload to be irrecoverably destroyed after one access. Not suitable for repeated reads, durable secret storage, or scenarios where the caller may need to retry — the pointer is gone after one successful call.

## Known failure modes

- Pointer already consumed (404): the blob was already retrieved; it is permanently gone and cannot be recovered
- Invalid or malformed pointer: the pointer string does not correspond to any stored blob, returns 404
- Payment failure: the x402 micropayment of $0.02 USDC was not successfully processed, retrieval not attempted
- Network or server error: transient 5xx error; caller should NOT retry blindly as a partially processed request may have consumed the pointer
- Pointer never existed: pointer was fabricated or mis-copied, returns 404

## How this service works

Pay per request (x402) to retrieve and permanently delete a one-shot encrypted blob by pointer. The pointer is invalidated the instant this call succeeds; a second hydrate against the same pointer always 404s, paid or not.

## Output

The decrypted contents of the one-shot encrypted blob associated with the given pointer. After a successful retrieval the pointer is permanently invalidated — any subsequent call to the same pointer returns a 404, regardless of payment.
