## 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 x402socks-paid-proxy-access-05c4623d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I need a one-time x402socks proxy access account — go ahead and pay the 1 USDC fee using my EVM wallet and get me the credentials.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs to programmatically acquire a fresh, one-time SOCKS proxy access account and is able to make an EVM-based USDC payment. It is ideal for agentic workflows that need ephemeral, pay-per-use proxy access without long-term subscriptions or traditional API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Payment amount mismatch — exact USDC amount not sent, resulting in access denial
- EVM transaction not yet settled — payment unconfirmed on-chain at time of request
- Invalid or missing payment proof in request headers
- Internal error provisioning the proxy account after valid payment
- Rate limiting or duplicate payment detection rejecting replay attempts

## How this service works

Create a one-time x402socks proxy access account after an exact EVM payment is verified and settled. Pricing comes from the deployed package catalog; an explicitly configured TEST_PRICE_USDC is used only when TESTING=true.

## Output

A JSON object containing success: true along with any generated proxy account credentials or access token, confirming that the EVM payment was verified and a one-time proxy access account was successfully created.
