## 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-machina-gg-player-performance-context-979e66c7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the performance context for Kylian Mbappé around his matches in the 2026 World Cup — goals, assists, key stats, and any relevant historical context?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need detailed, per-player performance context specifically for the 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament, with source-cited, grounded data. Prefer this over generic sports APIs when you need tournament-scoped stats with canonical entity resolution and narrative context from Machina Sports's intelligence layer.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unresolvable player identifier returns an error or empty result
- Match or player not found in the 2026 World Cup tournament data
- Invalid request body structure returns a validation error
- Player has no performance data yet (e.g., tournament not yet started for that player)
- Service unavailability or upstream data provider timeout

## How this service works

Machina's World Cup Intelligence APIs cover the 2026 tournament: canonical entity resolution across providers, fixtures, standings, squads, injuries, per-player performance context, Dixon-Coles match forecasts with historical backtests, and finished editorial content. Every endpoint is a synchronous POST that returns grounded, source-cited JSON. This server is a pay-per-use, transparent proxy in front of Machina Sports's own API: it handles identity, payment, and proxying. Agents can purchase autonomously or with their human's approval. This document is the source of truth for agents: it lists the complete verified paid surface with each operation's live price in its x-payment-info. Endpoints not listed here are not part of the supported catalog. The live catalog at /manifest.json is authoritative for prices and any free included units (prices[].includedUnits) - some meters include free usage per account before any charge, reserved for agents claimed by a human with a verified email.

## Output

A grounded, source-cited JSON object containing per-player performance metrics and contextual data around their World Cup tournament matches, including statistics, historical context, and relevant performance indicators.
