Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability chainquery-bitcoin-core-rpc-help-892a97a4
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover what Bitcoin Core RPC commands are available on chainquery's node, or when you need documentation on a specific RPC command's parameters and return values before calling it. Prefer this over static documentation when you want to confirm what the live node actually supports.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown RPC method name returns an error result
- Payment of $0.005 USDC not provided causes HTTP 402 response
- Invalid JSON in params query parameter causes parse error
- Network timeout if full node is temporarily unavailable
