# Delx Path Safety Check

> Delx Path Safety Check is a paid API for AI agents from api.delx.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Screens an untrusted file or URL path string for path traversal attack signals and returns a deterministic machine-readable JSON result

## Facts

- Price: $0.003/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-13

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 delx-path-safety-check-ebb9f0eb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scan this path string '../../etc/passwd' for any path traversal attack signals before I allow my app to use it?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, stateless, zero-retention preflight check on untrusted path strings before they reach file systems, policy engines, or production integrations. It is ideal for enterprise agent workflows where you want deterministic machine-readable safety signals without sending sensitive data to a third-party model or logging service. Prefer it over general-purpose LLM security analysis when you need reproducible results and auditability.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'path' field returns a validation error
- Extremely long path strings may be truncated or rejected
- Encoded or obfuscated traversal patterns may not always be detected (advisory only)
- Non-string inputs will fail schema validation
- Payment failure via x402 will prevent execution

## How this service works

Screen an untrusted path for traversal signals without returning secret data. Use it as a bounded preflight or analysis step inside an enterprise agent workflow before data, policy, integration, security, or commercial decisions reach production. Returns deterministic machine-readable JSON for $0.003 USDC via x402 on Base. Execution is first-party, local-only, stateless, memory-only, and has no paid upstream or input retention. Results are advisory; the caller remains responsible for authorization and production controls.

## Output

A deterministic JSON object indicating whether the input path contains path traversal signals, including detection flags, signal classifications, and advisory safety status. No secret data is returned; results are stateless and advisory only.

## Request schema (JSON Schema)

 "type": "object",
