Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 council-of-ai-x402-bazaar-population-slice-19a28457
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest signed population slice from the Council of AI x402-bazaar index so I can see what API listings are currently indexed and check the attestation signature?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a cryptographically attested, independently verifiable snapshot of x402 marketplace API listings — particularly when auditability, tamper-evidence, or signed provenance of directory data matters. Prefer this over generic API directories when you need the ed25519 signature and SHA-256 hash for downstream verification, or when you specifically need the Council of AI's independent measurement provenance rather than a self-reported listing.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient — returns 402 with payment requirements
- Invalid HTTP method (e.g. POST) — only GET, HEAD, DELETE accepted
- Attestation signature is null if signing has not yet occurred for that slice
- Source artifacts temporarily unavailable — stale or missing rows data
- Network or CAIP-2 chain unavailable — settle fields return null

## How this service works

We measure how AI systems behave against frozen, published tests and publish checkable evidence. Issued measurement cards are signed; unsigned supporting runs are labelled. Read the live board and corrections ledger.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: a slice ID ('x402-bazaar'), kind ('slice'), verbatim population rows of x402 marketplace listings, an as_of timestamp, an INDEXED state flag, source artifact file references, settlement info (payer address, network, transaction hash), and a signed attestation card with SHA-256 hash, ed25519 signature, and schema reference. The 'n' field is null (not zero) because the artifact refuses a total count across overlapping index frames.
