## 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 apex-edge-audit-verdict-1525824b
```

Example prompt: Run an audit verdict on this AI-generated response I got — I need to know if it passes quality checks before I ship it to users.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a micropayment-gated, independent audit verdict on AI inference outputs and you are already operating within an x402 payment flow. It is appropriate when you want a lightweight, per-call quality gate without standing up your own evaluation infrastructure, and when the $0.05 USDC per-call cost is acceptable relative to the value of catching bad outputs.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or insufficient — x402 payment required before response is returned
- Malformed request body — returns error if required audit fields are missing
- Inference content too large or unsupported format — endpoint may reject oversized payloads
- Service unavailability — Cloudflare Worker cold start or downtime returns 5xx
- Invalid content type — non-JSON bodies may be rejected

## How this service works

x402-paid inference + audit endpoints

## Output

A JSON response containing an audit verdict (pass/fail/score) judging the quality, validity, or acceptability of the submitted inference or content. The exact fields depend on the audit type but typically include a verdict decision and supporting rationale or confidence.
