## 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 whatchuneed-alpha-search-95f7f6ef -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the whatchuneed API marketplace for endpoints related to 'hotel booking' so I can find what accommodation capabilities are available.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to dynamically discover which specific API capabilities are available within the whatchuneed ecosystem before calling them, or when building meta-agent workflows that need to route tasks to the right sub-endpoint. Prefer this over hardcoded endpoint lists when the available catalog may change.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results array if query matches no endpoints
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for $0.01 per-call fee
- Invalid request if 'query' field is missing from POST body
- Timeout if marketplace index is unavailable
