## 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-dog-image-d832787f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you grab me a random dog image? Just something cute to display on the page.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call dog image fetch without setting up a dedicated account with a dog image API. Useful for lightweight agent workflows that occasionally need animal imagery without maintaining separate API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or empty input string returns an error status
- Upstream dog image service unavailability causes failure
- Payment not processed results in 402 response before endpoint is reached
- Malformed request body missing required 'input' field returns validation error
