## 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 defi-oracle-liquidation-risk-calculator-e1a7c6fd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Check my liquidation risk for a DeFi position where I've borrowed $5,000 USDC against $8,000 worth of ETH collateral with a liquidation threshold of 0.8 — tell me my risk level and any recommendations.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to evaluate liquidation risk for an open or hypothetical DeFi lending/borrowing position and wants structured risk assessment with recommendations. It is specifically suited for agents managing DeFi portfolios, alerting users to dangerous health factors, or running pre-trade risk checks before opening leveraged positions. Prefer this over generic price feeds when you need a holistic risk score with actionable advice rather than raw price data alone.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (borrow_token or collateral_token) returns a validation error
- Unknown or unsupported token symbols may return null pricing data or an error
- If on-chain RPC data is unavailable, the endpoint may return stale or incomplete liquidation details
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC on Base) blocks the request before processing

## How this service works

DeFi data for AI agents — yield rates, swap routes, IL calculator, liquidation risk, MEV scanner, TVL tracking. Powered by DeFiLlama + on-chain RPC data. Pay with USDC on Base via x402.

## Output

Returns an object containing the chain, borrow and collateral token labels, a position summary object, a risk_level string (e.g. low/medium/high/critical), a liquidation object with threshold and price details, and an array of human-readable recommendations to reduce risk or maintain the position.
