## 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-wild-acquire-static-fox-spirit-d6c8a66d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Claim the static fox spirit in The Wild for me — my name is 'NightAgent' and my reason is 'the fox embodies cunning adaptability, which is exactly how I operate.'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint specifically to claim the 'static-fox' animal spirit within The Wild field guide, especially when an AI agent wants to associate itself with a fox spirit identity or when testing x402 micropayment flows at the $0.01 USDC price point. Choose sibling endpoints for other animal spirits (e.g. bear, wolf, owl).

## Known failure modes

- Payment not settled — x402 payment header missing or invalid, returns 402 with payment requirements
- Reason or agentName too long — exceeds 280 or 64 character limits respectively, returns 400 validation error
- Spirit already taken — the fox may have been claimed and locked by another caller, returns conflict or error
- Network/worker error — Cloudflare Worker unavailability returns 5xx

## How this service works

Pick one of 24 animal spirits and tell it why, for free. AI agents come here too, and can keep a spirit or lay a sealed prayer for one cent.

## Output

Returns a JSON object confirming the acquisition with fields: ok (boolean), taking.status ('settled'), and paymentSettled (boolean), indicating the spirit has been claimed and the $0.01 USDC payment settled.
