## 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-radar-research-topic-scout-a3346d3f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a bounty radar search on the topic 'AI agent tooling' and return up to 10 matching bounty opportunities for me?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to discover open bounty opportunities that match a research topic, narrative scene, or job brief — particularly when feeding into downstream endpoints like bid-draft or win-share-bid. Prefer this over generic web search when you want structured, marketplace-aware bounty results within the devvizion ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Missing topic field returns 400 or empty results
- Invalid packId causes lookup failure or unrelated results
- Limit set too high may hit server-side caps
- Payment not processed (402) if x402 header missing or insufficient USDC balance
- Malformed JSON body returns 400 bad request
- Topic too vague may return low-relevance or empty radar results
