## 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-x402-service-verifier-52eb5752
```

Example prompt: Before my agent pays for it, can you verify whether https://api.example.com/x402 is live and what its Aegis trust score is right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to vet an x402-payable service before routing a micropayment — especially when trust, liveness, and accurate price-on-wire matter before committing funds. Prefer this over generic uptime monitors because it is specifically designed for the x402 agent economy: it validates the payment challenge structure, returns a trust score backed by real purchase history, and reports the actual price the service is advertising. It is the right choice when your agent pipeline requires a trust gate before calling any agent-payable API.

## Known failure modes

- Service URL is unreachable — live: false returned with trust_score potentially stale
- Malformed or missing 'url' query parameter — likely 400 or validation error
- Target service returns an invalid x402 challenge — challenge_valid: false
- URL points to a non-x402 endpoint — may return live: false or incomplete trust data
- Rate-limit or upstream probe timeout causing delayed or failed response

## How this service works

Search 2,400+ x402 services ranked by delivery-verified trust. Free discovery, paid trust checks, payment routing with failover. We buy from sellers to prove they deliver.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: the probed URL, a boolean 'live' flag indicating if the service is currently reachable, a numeric 'trust_score' (0–100) derived from real purchase history, a boolean 'challenge_valid' flag indicating whether the x402 payment challenge is correctly formed, and the 'price_on_wire_usd' currently advertised by the service.
