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 api-midas-ops-com-2d7be788
```

Example prompt: Can you give me an intelligence briefing on the x402 ecosystem — specifically which facilitators are most active on Base, what services are using x402 payments, and what the current agent commerce trends look like?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need specialized intelligence about the x402 payment protocol ecosystem, including facilitator discovery, agent commerce patterns on Base, infrastructure analysis, or market trends — especially when building or operating x402-enabled services or AI agents that need to understand the payment landscape.

## Known failure modes

- Vague or out-of-scope query returns low-confidence or generic response
- Query about non-x402 topics may return no useful result
- Service unavailability returns HTTP error or payment failure
- Payment of 0.5 USDC not processed results in 402 response
- Query too broad may return summarized rather than detailed intelligence

## How this service works

Midax402: x402 ecosystem intelligence — protocols, facilitators, services, market trends, and agent commerce on Base.

## Output

Returns an intelligence report answering the queried aspect of the x402 ecosystem, potentially including protocol mechanics, facilitator listings, service directories, market trend analysis, agent commerce activity, and CDP/Base network data relevant to the query.
