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 basebrain-ai-gas-tracker-a75630c4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the current Ethereum gas prices? I want to know if it's a good time to send a transaction right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, paid-per-call gas price lookup without managing your own RPC node or subscribing to a dedicated gas API. Useful for lightweight agent workflows that occasionally need gas data without long-term API key commitments. The x402 micropayment model ($0.09 USDC) makes it suitable for on-demand, low-frequency gas checks.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream gas price API unavailable — returns generic error or empty result
- Network not specified or unsupported — may return null or default chain data
- Rate limiting or payment failure — 402 response if USDC payment not properly attached
- Malformed response if underlying data provider is down
