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 ddg-npm-dependency-risk-scanner-b2675e7d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run an npm dependency risk scan on the 'lodash' package to check for known vulnerabilities or supply chain risks before I add it to my project?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, bounded, machine-payable ($0.02 USDC) npm package risk scan without needing a full npm audit CLI setup or access to raw registry credentials. Ideal for AI agents doing automated pre-install checks, CI pipeline integrations, or one-off dependency vetting in workflows that support x402 micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Package not found on npm registry — returns error or empty result
- Invalid or malformed package name — schema validation failure
- Upstream npm registry timeout — delayed or failed scan
- Unknown package version specified — version resolution error
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 — 402 Payment Required response

## How this service works

Machine-payable DDG services for AI agents. Current public live payment rails are x402 multi-chain USDC and direct-crypto auto/manual for public receiving-address families. MPP/Stripe/Tempo is installed but pending live provider env plus penny-settlement proof before any MPP-live advertisement. DDG sells bounded artifacts/results, not raw provider account access.

## Output

A JSON response containing a risk assessment for the specified npm package, including vulnerability findings, risk signals, dependency analysis, and an overall risk score or status (e.g. {ok: true} plus structured risk data).
