> Vaaya Zep Thread Create is a paid API for AI agents from vaaya.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

## Facts

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 vaaya-zep-thread-create-2a167a2e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Create a new Zep memory thread with thread ID 'session-abc123' for user ID 'user-456' so this agent can start storing and retrieving conversation history for that user.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to initialize persistent memory threads for AI agents using Zep as the memory backend, particularly when you want zero-setup access (no Zep account or API key needed) via Vaaya's proxied x402 payment model. Prefer this over direct Zep API calls when you want pay-per-use billing at $0.01 per call without managing credentials.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required thread_id or user_id returns a 400 validation error
- Duplicate thread_id for the same user may return a conflict error
- Empty string thread_id or user_id (violating minLength:1) triggers schema validation failure
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents the call from executing
- Zep backend unavailability may cause 502 or timeout errors

## How this service works

Give an AI agent a credit account. Set a limit and a spending policy, and the agent makes approved, metered purchases from providers that accept Vaaya.

## Output

Returns a confirmation object indicating the thread was successfully created in Zep, likely including the thread ID, user ID, creation timestamp, and any metadata stored with the thread.
