# Blinka Python Code Review

> Blinka Python Code Review is a paid API for AI agents from blinka-machine-mouths.netlify.app, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-13).

Performs static analysis on Python source code to identify bugs, correctness issues, and improvement suggestions given a stated intent

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 blinka-python-code-review-601ced58 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you do a static code review on this Python function I wrote — it's supposed to parse a list of user records and deduplicate by email — and flag any bugs or correctness mismatches? Here's the code: `def parse_users(records, seen=[]): ...`

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, stateless, privacy-respecting static analysis of Python code without executing it. Ideal when you have an explicit intent description that can be cross-checked for correctness mismatches. Prefer over execution-based review tools when safety and determinism matter, and over general LLM code review when you need structured, machine-readable issue output with line numbers and severity ratings.

## Known failure modes

- Code exceeds 16,000 character limit — request rejected
- Unsupported language submitted (only Python accepted) — validation error
- Malformed JSON input — 400 error
- Code too ambiguous to analyze without intent — low confidence score returned
- Payment not included or insufficient — 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Bounded stateless machine services plus public procurement discovery. No private Mika memory or arbitrary tool execution.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a list of issues (each with line number, type, severity, description, and suggestion), a boolean passed flag indicating whether the code passed review, a confidence score, whether code was executed (always false — purely static), and processing time in seconds.
