## 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-outline-3f2832f5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Using Tempest, scaffold me a high-depth content outline on the topic of 'the future of remote work' with 6 sections.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured content scaffold or hierarchical outline for a topic before writing full content — ideal for pre-writing workflows, editorial planning, or generating content blueprints. Prefer this over full article generation endpoints when you only need the structure, not the body text.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'topic' field returns validation error
- Invalid or empty topic string may return a malformed or empty outline
- Unsupported depth string values may be ignored or default to a standard level
- Payment failure (402) if USDC not provided via x402 protocol
- Network timeout on slow or overloaded Vercel serverless function
- sections value of 0 or negative may cause unexpected behavior
