## 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 tempest-ai-content-engine-scaffold-endpoint-58b44f06 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scaffold a detailed content outline on 'the future of renewable energy' with 6 sections, using a high depth level?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to rapidly generate a structured content outline or scaffold for a given topic before writing the full content. It's best used as a planning step in a content pipeline, especially when you need configurable depth and section count. Prefer this over full-content generation endpoints when you only need the structure, not the prose.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'topic' field returns an error
- Overly vague topic may produce generic or low-quality outlines
- Very high section count with shallow depth may produce incomplete outlines
- Payment failure via x402/USDC results in 402 response before content is generated
- Network timeout if AI inference takes too long
