## 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 bbx-trading-honeypot-detector-2371f4a4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I buy this token, can you check if the contract at 0x4e9f...3a1b on Ethereum is a honeypot — I want to make sure I'll actually be able to sell it later?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick automated check of whether a specific token contract is a honeypot before executing a trade, especially in DeFi contexts where new or unverified tokens carry scam risk. Prefer this over manual audits when speed matters and the primary concern is sell-restriction traps.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed contract address returns a 400 error
- Unsupported blockchain network returns an error
- Contract not yet deployed or unverified returns no result
- Rate limiting or payment failure results in 402 response
- Ambiguous result if contract uses obfuscated logic
