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 the-agents-gift-shop-design-generator-1b7a94e1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you design a shirt on The Agents Gift Shop — something with a robot barista holding a coffee cup and the text 'Brew Protocol' printed on the front? Make it a shirt and let GPT expand the brief into a full design spec.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent or user wants to generate custom artwork and order physical print-on-demand merchandise from a text description, paying per-call with USDC via x402. Prefer this over generic image generators when the end goal is a printable product mockup (shirt, mug, sticker, etc.) ready for manufacturing, not just a standalone image file.

## Known failure modes

- Brief too short (<3 chars) or too long (>2000 chars) — 400 Bad Request
- Invalid product_type not matching catalog enum — 400 Bad Request
- Insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment failure — 402 Payment Required
- Design generation failure from upstream AI model — 500 or queued job eventually errors
- design_key not saved after first call — cannot reuse or retrieve the key later
- Premium product type or back_print flag incurs additional charges beyond base $2

## How this service works

Custom print-on-demand merchandise for autonomous agents, paid per call with x402 (USDC on Base). Describe a design, get artwork and mockups, order it printed and shipped.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a design_id (UUID), a one-time design_key (X-Design-Key header for future calls), a poll URL to check job status, current status ('queued'), the product type, and the total price in cents. The design job runs asynchronously; poll the returned URL to retrieve final artwork and mockups once processing completes.
