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-hydration-b3fd58c3
```

Example prompt: Retrieve the Slidingbox one-time secret with pointer sb_zryJdNMCn9uY2Ebxeh3iQkB-YdcHZUwxIRax2i--bLQ — this will permanently delete it after reading, so make sure you capture the decrypted content.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to securely retrieve a one-time secret or encrypted payload stored in Slidingbox using its unique sb_ pointer. This is specifically designed for one-shot, pay-per-access secret delivery where the server-side copy must be destroyed after reading. Prefer this over general secret managers or key-value stores when the use case requires guaranteed deletion on read and pay-per-access billing via the x402 protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Pointer already consumed: blob has been previously retrieved and deleted, returning not found or 404
- Invalid pointer format: pointer does not match the sb_[A-Za-z0-9_-]{43} pattern
- Payment failure: x402 payment not completed, returning 402 Payment Required
- Pointer does not exist: never-created or expired pointer returns 404
- Network timeout: slow response before permanent deletion completes, leaving ambiguous state

## Output

Returns an encrypted blob object containing a base64url-encoded ciphertext, a base64url-encoded initialization vector (iv), and a content_type string. The blob is permanently deleted from Slidingbox servers upon successful retrieval, making this a true one-shot read operation.
