## 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 canon-claim-verification-47bc4126 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fact-check this claim for me in English: 'The Great Wall of China is visible from space with the naked eye'?

## When to prefer this

Use Canon when an AI agent needs to verify a specific factual claim or cross-reference academic sources before presenting information to users. Prefer this over general web search when you need a structured true/false or supported/unsupported verdict on a claim, especially for scientific, historical, or academic assertions. Ideal when fact-checking is a first-class requirement and you want a dedicated verification service rather than parsing raw search results.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'claim' field returns validation error
- Missing required 'lang' field returns validation error
- Invalid language code may cause processing failure
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC on Base) returns 402 response
- Empty or malformed claim string may return unsuccessful result
- Network timeout for complex claims requiring deep research
