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-intelligence-343ebe6c -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you evaluate the bounty readiness of this GitHub issue — https://github.com/coinbase/agentkit/issues/42 — and tell me its score and whether it's worth attempting?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent or developer needs structured, scored intelligence about a specific GitHub issue's bounty potential before committing time or resources. Prefer this over generic GitHub API calls when you need a readiness score, not just raw issue data — especially useful for autonomous agents making cost-benefit decisions about which bounties to pursue.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-public GitHub issue URL returns an error or low-confidence result
- Private repositories may not be accessible, returning an error or empty evaluation
- Rate limiting or upstream GitHub API failures may cause transient errors
- Malformed JSON input missing the required 'url' field returns a validation error
- Issues with no bounty metadata may return a low score with minimal intelligence

## 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

A JSON object with an 'ok' status flag, a mode string (e.g. 'fast_intelligence'), and an evaluation object containing a numeric score (0–100) and a readiness label (e.g. 'review', 'ready', 'blocked') indicating how well-suited the GitHub issue is for bounty engagement.
