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 datavault-github-repository-lookup-a3c2497c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the repository details for 'facebook/react' on GitHub — owner is 'facebook' and repo is 'react'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to fetch metadata for a specific GitHub repository by owner and repo name, especially in a pay-per-call context using USDC on Base. Prefer this over direct GitHub API calls when you need a simple, cost-controlled lookup without managing GitHub API tokens or rate limits directly.

## Known failure modes

- Repository not found — returns success: false if the owner or repo name is incorrect or the repo is private
- Missing required fields — error if either 'owner' or 'repo' is omitted from the request body
- Payment failure — endpoint requires $0.02 USDC on Base; insufficient funds returns 402
- Rate limiting — GitHub API rate limits may cause failures under high load
- Network timeout — upstream GitHub API may be temporarily unavailable
