## 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 delx-commerce-x402-catalog-route-check-35b547f0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether this route object I'm about to publish is a valid x402 catalog entry — specifically confirm it has the right HTTP method, a proper x402 path, a positive price, and all required fields present?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically verify that a route object conforms to the x402 catalog specification before publishing or registering it. It is the canonical validation utility for x402 catalog routes on Delx Commerce, providing granular per-check breakdowns and a tamper-evident SHA-256 hash of the input. Prefer this over manual inspection or generic JSON schema validators when you need x402-specific semantic checks (valid path format, positive price, POST method requirement).

## Known failure modes

- Malformed route object (non-object input) causes validation error
- Route missing required x402 fields returns valid:false with populated missing_fields array
- Route with zero or negative price fails positive_price check
- Non-POST method fails the 'post' check
- Oversized route object exceeding 128 properties may be rejected
- Network or payment failure returns HTTP 402 if USDC payment is not completed

## How this service works

Pay-per-result APIs for agents. No signup. Exact price. Verifiable delivery. USDC on Base + Solana via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a top-level 'result' containing a boolean 'valid' flag, a 'checks' map showing pass/fail for each sub-check (post, x402_path, positive_price, required_present), and a 'missing_fields' array. Also includes 'status' (pass/fail), 'schema' identifier, and an 'evidence' block with the SHA-256 hash of the input, a 'retained: false' flag confirming no data is stored, and an external_calls count.
