## 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-random-string-generator-361f38af -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a random alphanumeric string of 16 characters for me to use as a temporary token.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call random string generation without setting up your own randomization library or infrastructure. Suitable for lightweight utility needs within the whatchuneed ecosystem where you are already using x402 protocol payments.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'input' field returns validation error
- Malformed JSON body causes 400 error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents execution
- Server timeout if generation takes too long
- Empty input string may produce undefined behavior
