## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-use margin requirement calculation without API key signup, especially within an automated trading or risk management agent pipeline. Prefer it for verifiable, micro-priced computations paid in USDC on Base or Solana via x402 protocol when building agent-native financial workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Missing leverage or notional fields results in a 400 Bad Request
- Non-integer values for leverage or notional may be rejected
- Zero or negative leverage/notional values may cause computation errors or rejection
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 Payment Required before computation occurs
