## 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 bounty-engineer-github-bounty-due-diligence-b9f70224 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Run a full due diligence check on this GitHub issue to see if it's worth pursuing as a bounty — here's the URL: https://github.com/coinbase/agentkit/issues/42

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to programmatically evaluate the quality, clarity, and viability of a GitHub issue before committing resources to completing a bounty. It is the right choice when you want a structured readiness score rather than raw issue text, and when you need machine-readable output to filter or rank bounty opportunities in an autonomous workflow. Prefer this over generic web scraping when GitHub issue intelligence and bounty-specific scoring are required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-public GitHub issue URL returns an error
- Private repository URLs that are inaccessible return a fetch failure
- Malformed URL input may return a validation error
- Rate limiting or service unavailability on the underlying GitHub data source
- Payment failure via x402 protocol causes the request to be rejected before evaluation

## How this service works

Machine-buyable infrastructure for autonomous agents: API cost routing, margin optimization, funding-rate data, webpage extraction, result verification, spend controls, retry planning, state, tender search and GitHub bounty intelligence.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean, an evaluation 'mode' (e.g. 'deep_due_diligence'), and an 'evaluation' object containing a numeric score (0–100) and a readiness label (e.g. 'strong', 'weak', 'moderate'), indicating how viable and well-defined the GitHub bounty issue is.
