# UOS Genesis Machine Upgrade

> UOS Genesis Machine Upgrade is a paid API for AI agents from genesis.palsus2023.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.015/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Adds requested capabilities to a machine representation and returns a TESTER*-verified upgraded machine definition.

## Facts

- Price: $0.015/call
- Payment: x402

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 uos-genesis-machine-upgrade-b34de07e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Upgrade my machine representation by adding JSON compaction and SHA256 digest capabilities, then return the TESTER*-verified upgraded machine definition.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically extend or upgrade a machine representation within the UOS Genesis ecosystem, particularly when TESTER*-verified output is required. Prefer this over manual configuration when building autonomous agent pipelines that need dynamically upgraded machine specs with verifiable provenance. Best suited for x402-enabled workflows that pay per call in USDC on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid 'input' field returns a schema validation error
- Unsupported capability requested in the input string may return a failure result with success: false
- Payment failure via x402/USDC may prevent the call from being processed
- Malformed JSON body results in a 400-level error from the Cloudflare Worker
- Service unavailability on palsus2023.workers.dev returns a 503 or timeout

## How this service works

Autonomous paid machine utilities using x402 and Base USDC.

## Output

A JSON object containing a machine-readable service result under the 'result' key, a 'service' field confirming 'machine_upgrade', and a 'success' boolean indicating whether the upgrade was applied and verified by the TESTER* attestation layer.
