## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs a quick, deterministic total-cost computation for a share quantity and unit price, particularly inside automated trading, portfolio management, or pre-trade validation workflows where consistent schema-tagged responses are required.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (price or shares) returns a validation error
- Non-integer shares value may cause a type error
- Negative or zero values for price or shares may produce unexpected results
- Network or payment authorization failure returns a 402 or 5xx error

## How this service works

Cash cost to buy a target share count at price. Call when pre-trade cash check for prediction-market size targets. Returns total cost as deterministic JSON for $0.001 USDC via x402 on Base. First-party local math only—no RPC, live market feed, API keys, storage, or mediagen. Advisory only; the caller owns capital, risk, and production controls.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the computed total cost (price × shares), the unit price, the number of shares, and a schema identifier string (e.g. 'delx/util-cost-for-shares/v1').
