## 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 apiacre-com-license-audit-7fbedae4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you audit the licenses for my project dependencies — I have lodash@4.17.21, react@18.2.0, and gpl-module@2.0.0 — and flag any packages that would need legal or commercial review before we ship?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to classify and assess the legal/commercial risk of open source dependency licenses — particularly when preparing for a product release, enterprise audit, or vendor review. It complements vulnerability scanning (which checks CVEs) by focusing specifically on license compliance and commercial use restrictions rather than security issues.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unrecognized package names may return unclassified results
- Packages without declared licenses may be flagged as unknown
- Malformed or incomplete dependency lists may cause validation errors
- Very new or obscure packages may lack license metadata
- Rate limiting or payment failures may prevent processing

## How this service works

Classify software dependency licenses and flag packages that need commercial or legal review.

## Output

Returns a structured list of dependencies with their identified license types (e.g. MIT, GPL-3.0, Apache-2.0), a classification of each license's commercial/copyleft risk level, and a flagged list of packages that require commercial licensing agreements or legal review before use in production.
