## 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 toolshed-yaml-to-json-converter-c52725f2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Convert this YAML to JSON for me: 'name: toolshed\ntags:\n  - x402\nenabled: true'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, no-signup, pay-per-call YAML-to-JSON conversion with no rate limits tied to an account. Ideal for agent workflows that occasionally need format conversion without maintaining API credentials. Prefer over self-hosted parsers when you want zero infrastructure overhead and are already using x402 micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or invalid YAML input returns an error response
- Missing or empty request body may result in a 400 Bad Request
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the call via x402 protocol
- Deeply nested or extremely large YAML documents may time out or be rejected
