## 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 thepaliworkernode-com-ai-task-executor-9388a278 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I need you to hire a Pali worker node and run this AI task for me: summarize the key points from this research abstract — 'Transformer architectures have shown significant performance gains across NLP benchmarks by leveraging self-attention mechanisms.' Pay the $0.02 USDC fee automatically and return the result.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to execute a one-off or automated AI task through the x402 micropayment protocol without managing your own AI infrastructure. It is best suited for agentic workflows that require pay-per-task AI execution at low cost ($0.02 USDC), where automatic tier detection from the objective is acceptable. Prefer this over self-hosted AI calls when you want seamless USDC micropayment integration and minimal setup.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance causing x402 payment failure
- Ambiguous or malformed objective preventing tier detection
- Task tier not supported by the worker node
- Network timeout before task completion
- Invalid or missing objective field in request body
- Payment protocol negotiation failure

## How this service works

Execute a paid AI task (tier auto-detected from the objective) via the x402 protocol.

## Output

The endpoint returns the output produced by the AI worker node for the submitted objective — this may include generated text, a classification, a summary, an answer, or other AI-generated content depending on the task tier auto-detected from the objective. The response is delivered after the $0.02 USDC x402 payment is settled.
