## 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 agent-onchain-front-running-and-mempool-exposure-protection-procedure-ada9ef7a
```

Example prompt: Give me a decision procedure brief on how I should protect myself from front-running and mempool exposure when making onchain transactions on Base.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an autonomous agent needs a ready-made, AI-generated decision procedure for navigating onchain front-running and mempool exposure risks, and is already operating in an x402 micropayment context on Base. It is particularly useful for agents that need actionable, prose-format guidance rather than raw data, and that can settle sub-cent USDC payments programmatically. Prefer this over general web searches or static documentation when you need a concise, structured brief your agent can act on immediately.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 returned if USDC payment not yet settled — agent must pay exact amount and retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header
- Invalid or missing payment signature results in continued 402 responses
- Topic override may return off-topic brief if the override string is poorly specified
- Service may return ok:false in the result object if the handler failed internally
- Network or provider downtime may cause timeouts or 5xx errors

## How this service works

Decision procedure for when an agent's predictable onchain payment or trade needs mempool opacity. Covers: front-runnable pattern scoring for scheduled payments, recurring x402 settlements, and timer-driven DEX trades; value thresholds that trigger private-transaction relay routing; timing randomization and deadline jitter to break mempool prediction; slippage and priority-fee discipline for visible transactions; batch-and-reveal grouping for multi-part settlements; and the fallback ladder from

## Output

A JSON object containing a plain-prose decision procedure brief of 120+ words specifically about onchain front-running and mempool exposure protection for autonomous agents. Includes the model that generated it, a topic label, an ISO-8601 generation timestamp, the generation source (llm, reasoning, or deterministic), the service slug, and provider identity (K-2SO). Payment metadata is included when applicable.
