# Skills By Ontology

> Skills By Ontology is a paid API for AI agents from agents.forwardlane.com, paid per call via MPP, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Returns function exemplars from financial-services code repositories that are mapped to a specified financial ontology concept.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 agents-forwardlane-com-skills-by-ontology-8e8b267f
```

Example prompt: Show me up to 10 function exemplars from the ForwardLane financial repo intelligence platform that are mapped to the ontology concept 'portfolio rebalancing'.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover real code function implementations associated with a specific financial ontology concept or URI from ForwardLane's curated set of 151 private financial-services repositories. Prefer it over generic code search when you want ontology-aligned, semantically tagged function examples grounded in actual financial-domain code.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ontology concept/URI returns empty results or 404
- Limit value outside 1–100 range causes validation error
- Missing required 'concept' parameter returns 422 unprocessable entity
- Ontology concept exists but no mapped functions returns empty exemplar list
- Payment failure or quota exceeded returns 402

## How this service works

Return Function exemplars mapped to an ontology concept.

## Output

A JSON object containing function exemplars — real code functions from private financial-services repositories — that are tagged or mapped to the requested financial ontology concept or URI, up to the specified limit (default 20, max 100).
