## 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 ecology-observations-provenance-edge-audit-5545c2e8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Audit these ecology observation rows for provenance — I have up to 20 taxon references I need bound to their exact taxonomy revisions and taxon-content pins; the data class is 'public' and there's no personal metadata involved.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to audit the provenance integrity of ecology observation records by binding taxon references to their exact taxonomy revisions and content pins. Ideal for pre-publication data quality checks, ingestion pipeline validation, or biodiversity informatics workflows where tracing taxon provenance is critical. Best suited for small-to-medium batches of up to 32 rows and 32 taxa using public or synthetic data with no personal metadata.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized taxon references result in unresolved binding reports
- Exceeding 32 rows or 32 taxa returns a validation error
- Missing required 'nonpersonalMetadata: true' field causes rejection
- Unsupported dataClass value outside enum ['public','synthetic'] returns an error
- Malformed input rows may cause partial audit results or processing failure

## How this service works

Bind supplied taxon references to exact taxonomy-revision and taxon-content Supplied-record analysis, not independent certification. Full contract at the free describe URL.

## Output

Returns a structured audit result indicating how each supplied taxon reference binds to a specific taxonomy revision and taxon-content pin. Highlights any edges that are unresolvable, mismatched, or missing pins, without performing independent certification — analysis is based solely on the supplied records.
