## 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 amnt-tool-scout-c882b07e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the AMNT Tool Scout for proven tools that can check whether an ERC-20 token is a honeypot — return up to 10 results, only tools someone has actually paid to use, and nothing over $0.05.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to dynamically discover the right specialized tool for a sub-task at runtime, especially when you want to avoid untested or abandoned tools. Prefer it over manually curated lists when the task domain is niche or evolving, and when cost constraints are important.

## Known failure modes

- No tools found matching the task description — try broader or different keywords
- provenOnly=true filters out all results for niche tasks with no usage history
- maxPriceUsd set too low eliminates all matching tools
- task string too long (over 200 characters) causes validation error
- Registry may have stale or outdated tool listings

## How this service works

Tool Scout - Find a tool on OpenSea's registry that actually works, and skip the thousands that don't.

## Output

Returns a list of matching tools from the registry, each including the tool name, description, tags, price, and whether it has been proven through actual paid usage. Results are filtered by the provenOnly flag and maxPriceUsd if provided, and limited to the specified count.
