## 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 bountysignal-bounty-viability-checker-1469cf52 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I spend time on this, can you check whether this bounty actually looks fundable and still open? Here's the URL: https://github.com/someorg/somerepo/issues/42

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent or developer needs a cheap, fast pre-screening signal on a bounty URL before committing engineering effort. It is especially valuable in automated pipelines that scan many bounties and need to triage which ones warrant human review. Prefer it over manual inspection when processing more than a handful of bounty URLs, or when operating autonomously without human review of each listing.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable bounty URL returns an error or inconclusive verdict
- Bounty page behind authentication or bot-detection may yield incomplete signals
- Pages with non-standard language may produce false negatives on fundingLanguageFound
- Rate limits or upstream fetch timeouts may return a failure response
- Malformed input URL (not a valid URI) will be rejected by schema validation

## How this service works

A $5 evidence-first check that tells developers and AI agents whether a bounty can actually pay before they build.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the target URL, a signals object containing boolean flags (closedLanguageFound, fundingLanguageFound, identityOrSocialFriction), a string verdict (e.g. 'GO' or 'NO-GO'), and a nextAction recommendation string advising what to do next.
