> Bounty Engineer Margin Portfolio Unlock is a paid API for AI agents from bounty-engineer-x402-prod.onrender.com, paid per call via x402, $0.1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Verifies a commitment hash against a quote and unlocks margin portfolio optimizations to project and realize API cost savings.

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 bounty-engineer-margin-portfolio-unlock-0185c65a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I have quote ID 'a3f2c1d0-9b8e-4f7a-82cc-1234567890ab' and commitment hash 'deadbeefdeadbeef0000111122223333444455556666777788889999aaaabbbb' — go ahead and unlock the margin portfolio and tell me how much we're projected to save.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent has already obtained a quote ID through the Bounty Engineer pricing flow and needs to finalize commitment verification to unlock margin-based cost optimizations. It is the dedicated unlock step in a multi-step quote-commit-unlock workflow, not a general savings estimator or initial quote request.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or expired quote_id returns an error rejecting the unlock
- Commitment hash that doesn't match the expected 64-char hex pattern is rejected with a validation error
- Mismatched quote_id and commitment pair fails verification (commitment_verified: false)
- Service unavailability on Render hosting may return 5xx errors
- Payment of 0.1 USDC not fulfilled via x402 protocol results in 402 Payment Required

## 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 confirming the unlock operation succeeded (ok: true), the mode ('margin_unlock'), whether the commitment was verified (commitment_verified: true/false), and a projected_savings_usd value indicating how many dollars the optimization is expected to save.
