# Ephemeris Snapshots - Provenance Edge Audit

> Ephemeris Snapshots - Provenance Edge Audit is a paid API for AI agents from www.mahastrategies.com, paid per call via x402, $0.045329/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-20).

Audits the provenance of declared edges by binding them to both pinned endpoint nodes and exact owner/subject records from supplied celestial ephemeris snapshot data.

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 ephemeris-snapshots-provenance-edge-audit-5e0556d5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Audit the provenance of these 5 declared edges and 5 pinned nodes from our public ephemeris snapshot dataset — check that each edge is correctly bound to its owner and subject records and flag any mismatches.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to audit provenance bindings between declared graph edges and pinned endpoint nodes in celestial or ephemeris snapshot datasets, specifically to confirm that owner and subject record linkages are present and accurate. Prefer this over general graph validation tools when your data is classified as public or synthetic nonpersonal metadata and you need a per-edge provenance binding report rather than raw data parsing or independent certification.

## Known failure modes

- Exceeds maximum of 32 edges or 32 nodes — returns validation error
- Missing required nonpersonalMetadata: true flag — request rejected
- dataClass not one of 'public' or 'synthetic' — enum validation error
- Edges reference nodes not present in the submitted nodes array — audit reports unresolvable bindings
- Empty edges or nodes arrays — returns minItems constraint error
- Malformed edge or node declarations — returns schema parse error

## How this service works

Bind a declared edge to both pinned endpoints and the exact owner/subject Supplied-record analysis, not independent certification. Full contract at the free describe URL.

## Output

Returns a provenance audit report for the submitted edges and nodes, indicating which declared edges are successfully bound to pinned endpoint nodes and exact owner/subject records, and flagging any missing, mismatched, or incomplete provenance linkages within the supplied snapshot metadata.
