# DATA/AGENT FOUNDRY — Software Lifecycle Status

> DATA/AGENT FOUNDRY — Software Lifecycle Status is a paid API for AI agents from foundry-api-production-95ae.up.railway.app, paid per call via x402, $0.0025/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Returns the current active lifecycle state of a software product by key and version, with billable metering only on resolved (non-UNKNOWN) results.

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 data-agent-foundry-software-lifecycle-status-5f4e3608 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check the active lifecycle status for product 'acme-platform' version '3.2.1' as of today — I need to know if it's still actively supported or if it's deprecated?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a machine-readable, metered lifecycle status signal for a specific software product version — especially in automated pipelines, compliance checks, or procurement workflows where you need to verify active support status. The non-billable UNKNOWN result model makes it low-risk to query even speculative or obscure products. Prefer this over manual vendor documentation lookups when you need structured, programmatic results with provenance.

## Known failure modes

- Product key or version not found in the dataset — returns result_state: UNKNOWN with billable: false
- Malformed input (missing required fields key or version) — returns a validation error
- As-of date out of supported historical range — may return UNKNOWN
- Network or upstream data source unavailability — may return DATA GAP result, which is also non-billable

## How this service works

Machine-first active product portfolio. Lifecycle is the CONTROL_SKU; UNKNOWN and DATA GAP results are not billable.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the lifecycle state (e.g. ACTIVE, EOL, UNKNOWN), result_state, provenance information, and metering details indicating whether the result is billable (UNKNOWN and DATA_GAP results are not billed, resolved results cost $0.0025 USDC).
