## 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 zero-plan-cost-zack-2ab-workers-dev-zero-plan-cost-create-project-fb544eda -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Create a new project called 'Riverside Kitchen Remodel' for client Jane Doe (jane@doe.com) with an initial estimate that includes demo ($1,200), cabinetry ($8,500), and countertops ($3,200), then render the estimate as a PDF and give me the email payload so I can send it to her.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to atomically create a project record, generate its initial cost estimate, produce a client-ready PDF, and obtain an email payload in a single call — especially within a Zero agent workflow where a downstream Zero email capability will handle actual sending. Prefer this over separate project-creation and PDF-rendering endpoints when you want a streamlined one-shot estimate-to-email pipeline.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required project or estimate fields returns a 400 validation error
- Invalid or malformed input schema returns a 422 unprocessable entity
- PDF rendering failure returns a 500 internal server error
- Downstream email payload generation fails if client email is missing or malformed
- Service unavailable on Cloudflare Worker cold start or overload returns 503

## How this service works

Create a project + initial estimate, render PDF, return email-dispatch payload for the agent to send via a Zero email capability.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the newly created project ID, estimate ID, a link or binary of the rendered PDF, and a structured email-dispatch payload (recipient, subject, body, attachment reference) ready to be passed to a Zero email capability for delivery to the client.
