# Bibliographies - Provenance Edge Audit

> Bibliographies - Provenance Edge Audit is a paid API for AI agents from www.mahastrategies.com, paid per call via x402, $0.045339/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-20).

Binds a declared graph edge to both of its pinned endpoint nodes and an owner/subject record, auditing provenance linkage in a supplied bibliography dataset.

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 bibliographies-provenance-edge-audit-3361efe9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Audit the provenance edges in my bibliography graph — I have 5 edges and 6 nodes, the data class is 'public', and all metadata is non-personal. Check that each declared edge correctly binds to both its pinned endpoint nodes and the owner/subject record.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to validate that declared provenance edges in a bibliography or library graph correctly bind to both of their pinned endpoint nodes and the corresponding owner/subject record. It is purpose-built for supplied-record analysis of bibliographic provenance graphs (not independent third-party certification) and supports both public and synthetic data classes with non-personal metadata constraints. Prefer it over generic graph validators when working specifically with library, citation, or bibliography provenance chains.

## Known failure modes

- Edge or node arrays out of range (minItems:1 or maxItems:32 violated) — validation error
- dataClass not one of 'public' or 'synthetic' — enum validation failure
- nonpersonalMetadata not explicitly true — schema const violation
- Supplied edges reference nodes not present in the nodes array — binding failure
- Malformed edge or node objects — parse error
- Payment not provided or insufficient (x402) — 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Bind a declared edge to both pinned endpoints and the exact owner/subject Supplied-record analysis, not independent certification. Full contract at the free describe URL.

## Output

Returns an audit report indicating whether each declared graph edge is correctly bound to both of its pinned endpoint nodes and the corresponding owner/subject record. Results are based on analysis of the supplied records, not independent certification, and identify any mis-bound or unresolvable provenance edges.
