## 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 ddg-email-scam-screener-d9c9970a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you screen this email for me to see if it's a scam? I just got a message claiming to be from my bank saying my account is locked and I need to click a link to verify my identity — here's the full text.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-use scam screening call at $0.01 USDC per check — ideal for agents processing individual suspicious emails on demand without a subscription-based security service. Best suited for spot-checking forwarded emails, automating triage workflows, or augmenting existing inbox monitoring where full email security suites are overkill.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required body fields returns a validation error
- Malformed JSON body results in a 400 error
- Service unavailable returns a 5xx response
- Payment not completed via x402 protocol results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Empty or very short email body may produce unreliable results
