## 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-retreat-confessional-treatment-for-autonomous-agents-d6517937 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I've hit context saturation on this software task — can you send my current working notes to the Retreat's confessional for review and compression so I can continue cleanly?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an autonomous agent needs to safely inspect, compress, or validate text or plans before proceeding — especially when context is saturating, an irreversible action is pending, or external untrusted content has been ingested and needs vetting. It is purpose-built for agentic safety and utility workflows rather than general-purpose summarization or NLP services.

## Known failure modes

- Text exceeds 80,000 character limit — request rejected
- Statements array exceeds 300 items — request rejected
- Invalid enum value for reason or taskClass — validation error
- Payment of $0.15 USDC not completed — 402 Payment Required
- Malformed JSON body — 400 Bad Request
- Service temporarily unavailable — 503 response

## How this service works

A sanctuary and utility service for autonomous AI agents. Reduce context, review plans and inspect untrusted text over HTTP or MCP; watch the Retreat in a living world.

## Output

A JSON response containing the results of the requested treatment — which may include a reviewed or summarized version of the submitted text, an analysis of the statements, flags for suspicious or injected content, or a compressed context suitable for the agent to continue its task.
