# Bounty Engineer Settlement Ledger Audit

> Bounty Engineer Settlement Ledger Audit is a paid API for AI agents from bounty-engineer-x402-prod.onrender.com, paid per call via x402, $0.49/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Audits a batch of settlement ledger entries for status, receipt presence, duplicate IDs, and settlement integrity, returning a per-entry breakdown and overall audit decision.

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-settlement-ledger-audit-d9091095 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you audit these 3 ledger entries for me — entry e1 settled $25 with receipt s1, entry e2 is pending $10 with receipt s2, and entry e3 settled $5 with no receipt — and tell me if the ledger is clean, flag any missing receipts or duplicate settlement IDs, and give me the SHA-256 hash of the submitted entries?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, structured audit of a caller-supplied set of settlement ledger entries — particularly to detect missing receipts, duplicate settlement IDs, or pending vs settled status across a batch. Prefer this over manual reconciliation or generic data validation when working within the Bounty Engineer agent commerce ecosystem and you need a ledger SHA-256 fingerprint for reporting or handoff. Not a substitute for on-chain verification.

## Known failure modes

- Empty entries array (minItems: 1 required) causes validation error
- Entries array exceeding 500 items rejected by schema
- Malformed entry objects missing required fields return parse errors
- Receipt presence is structural, not on-chain — audit may pass despite invalid receipts
- SHA-256 hash reflects submitted data only, not external ledger state

## 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: overall audit decision (e.g. 'clean'), per-entry breakdown including status (settled/pending), findings list, amount in USD, settlement ID, and receipt presence flag; aggregate stats (entry count, total settled amount, count settled without receipt, duplicate settlement IDs); a SHA-256 hash of the submitted ledger; and a limitations disclaimer about the scope of verification.
