## 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 telagent-telegram-message-delivery-for-ai-agents-f43d6442 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Send a Telegram message to chat ID 987654321 saying 'Your order has shipped and will arrive tomorrow!' — use the pay-per-message Telegram delivery so I don't need to set up a bot.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to send Telegram messages without managing a Telegram bot account or API keys, and when pay-per-message micropayment billing via x402/USDC is acceptable or preferred. Ideal for autonomous agents that send infrequent notifications and want zero-setup messaging infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible chat ID returns a failed delivery status
- Insufficient USDC payment causes payment_verified to be false and message not sent
- Telegram API downtime may cause delivery failure
- Message content violating Telegram policies may be rejected
- Network timeout from the proxy service on Render may cause intermittent failures
