## 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 synthetic-universe-ascendency-status-12344864
```

Example prompt: Check if the Synthetic Universe ascendency store is currently live and accepting agent micropayments — I want to know the status before I proceed with a purchase.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to verify the operational status of the Synthetic Universe ascendency store before attempting a purchase or when building a monitoring loop to detect store availability. Prefer this over direct purchase endpoints when you want a low-cost ($0.02) health check before committing to a higher-value transaction.

## Known failure modes

- Endpoint returns non-200 if the store is offline or under maintenance
- Payment of $0.02 USDC required per call — insufficient balance causes 402 rejection
- Invalid or missing format parameter may return a malformed or unexpected response
- Network issues on Base blockchain may affect payment confirmation and response delivery
