## 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 aegis-ai-url-content-quality-scorer-be2823d1
```

Example prompt: Can you score the content quality of this article — https://example.com/news/some-article — and give me the V/C/L metrics so I can tell if it's worth reading?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured, AI-generated quality assessment (V/C/L metrics) for a specific web article or page, especially for filtering or ranking content in a pipeline. Prefer it over generic readability tools when you need the specific Aegis V/C/L scoring framework, or when integrating with the Aegis briefing feed to evaluate individual articles.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 status — scoring fails with fetch error
- URL points to non-article content (e.g. login wall, PDF, dynamic JS app) — extraction may be incomplete or empty
- URL exceeds 2048 character limit — request rejected with validation error
- URL does not start with http:// or https:// — rejected by schema validation
- Payment not included or insufficient — 402 Payment Required response
- Rate limiting or timeout on the target URL — may return partial or failed score
