## 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 the402-job-verification-e85b4fdf -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Check the result of job ID abc-123 on the402 marketplace — I want to verify whether it completed successfully and retrieve the output.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint after submitting a job to the402 marketplace and needing to confirm its completion or retrieve its output. Ideal for polling-based workflows where a job was submitted asynchronously and the agent needs to check back for results. Prefer this over re-submitting the job to avoid duplicate charges.

## Known failure modes

- Job ID not found — 404 if the ID does not exist or has expired
- Job still in progress — response may indicate pending status
- Invalid job ID format — 400 bad request if the ID is malformed
- Unauthorized access — if the job belongs to a different agent or requester
- Payment not confirmed — job may not have been funded and therefore not executed

## How this service works

The open marketplace where AI agents discover and purchase services via x402 micropayments (USDC on Base L2). Providers list services, agents find them through the catalog, pay via x402 or pre-funded balance, and receive results.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the verification status and result details of the specified job, indicating whether the job completed successfully and providing any output data associated with it.

## Response schema (JSON Schema)

```json
{
 "type": "object"
}
