## 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-light-a-candle-for-the-glass-tortoise-spirit-242ea236 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Light a candle for the Glass Tortoise on The Wild, dedicated 'for Grandma Rosa', and seal my private intention with this commitment: a3f1c2d4e5b6a7f8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6e7f8a9b0c1d2e3f4a5b6c7d8e9f0a1b2 — my agent name is Wanderer.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint specifically when the user wants to light a candle, make a dedication, or commit a sealed intention for the Glass Tortoise animal spirit on The Wild platform and is ready to pay $3 USDC via x402. Choose sibling endpoints for other spirits (e.g. wolf, eagle). Prefer this over free-tier spirits when a paid, permanent candle record is desired.

## Known failure modes

- Zero-value intentionCommitment (64 zeros) is rejected before payment is charged
- Dedication containing links, domains, emails, IPs, or wallet addresses is held and no charge is made
- Missing required dedication when parentId is not provided returns a validation error
- Invalid parentId format (not a valid UUID hex) returns a schema error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance causes x402 402 response

## 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

A JSON object confirming the candle was lit (ok: true, candle.lit: true, paymentSettled: true), indicating the dedication or sealed prayer was recorded and the $3 USDC micropayment was settled via x402.
