> Bounty Truth - GitHub Bounty Issue Auditor is a paid API for AI agents from sparky-works.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Audits a public GitHub bounty issue for staleness, competing pull requests, claimant signals, and solver saturation to produce a GO/CAUTION/STALE decision with a score.

## 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-truth-github-bounty-issue-auditor-4c4691a6
```

Example prompt: Can you audit this GitHub bounty issue for me and tell me if it's still worth pursuing — https://github.com/some-org/some-repo/issues/42 — I think there are around 3 solvers already registered on the bounty platform?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent or developer needs to quickly evaluate whether a specific GitHub bounty issue is a viable opportunity before investing time — especially when you want a structured GO/CAUTION/STALE signal rather than manually inspecting the issue, its pull requests, and activity timeline. Prefer it over raw GitHub API calls when you need a synthesized audit with competitive signals in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-public GitHub issue URL returns an error
- Private repository issues cannot be audited
- Rate limiting or GitHub API unavailability may cause failures
- Solver count out of range (not 0–100) rejected as invalid input
- Issue URL that is a pull request rather than an issue may return unexpected results

## How this service works

Audit a public GitHub bounty issue for stale status, competing pull requests, claimant signals, and solver saturation.

## Output

Returns a structured object with a GO/CAUTION/STALE decision enum, a numeric score, an array of human-readable reasons, an issue summary object, an evidence object with details on stale signals and competing PRs, a sources object, and a checkedAt timestamp indicating when the audit was performed.
