## 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 ytclip-modestpika-box-ca-get-health-660abdf7
```

Example prompt: Check if the ytclip media clipping service is up and healthy right now before I try to clip something from a YouTube video.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint before making expensive or latency-sensitive clip requests to verify the ytclip service is operational. Prefer this over /healthz if /health is more consistently documented, or use both for redundancy. Ideal for pre-flight checks in agent workflows that depend on the clipping pipeline.

## Known failure modes

- Service down or unreachable: returns 5xx or connection timeout
- Degraded state: service responds but underlying components (yt-dlp, Groq, ffmpeg) may be unhealthy
- Empty or malformed JSON response if service is partially broken

## Output

Returns a JSON object indicating whether the ytclip service (yt-dlp + Groq Whisper + Groq Llama + ffmpeg pipeline) is alive and operational. Typically contains a status field or similar health indicator.

## Response schema (JSON Schema)

```json
{
 "type": "object"
}
