# ESG Fund Greenwashing Triangle Gauge

> ESG Fund Greenwashing Triangle Gauge is a paid API for AI agents from aeml-x402.zeabur.app, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns a three-leg ESG greenwashing risk gauge for a named fund: fund lifecycle (label death / liquidation), rating drift (ESG downgrade / delisting), and holdings cascade (carbon asset death / climate policy failure), with cross-validated narrative and verifiable official citations.

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 esg-fund-greenwashing-triangle-gauge-cd44d087
```

Example prompt: Can you run the ESG greenwashing triangle check on the BlackRock SFDR Article 9 downgrade fund — I need to see the fund lifecycle status, any ESG rating drift, and whether its holdings are exposed to stranded carbon assets, all with verifiable official sources?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a multi-leg, officially-sourced ESG greenwashing due diligence snapshot for a specific named fund, especially for SFDR/SEC/ESMA compliance workflows, pre-allocation screening, or verifiable audit trails. It is superior to generic ESG data feeds when you need cross-validated fund lifecycle + rating drift + holdings cascade in a single call with Ed25519-signed citations and provenance metadata. Not suitable as investment advice or for real-time trading signals.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or unrecognized entity key returns an error or empty legs
- Official source data frozen/stale triggers dead_source flag and stale freshness status
- No official grading threshold available for a leg returns 422 with no_ch indicator
- Requested fund has insufficient official documentation — grade disclosed as screening-level only
- Payment not received (x402 flow failure) results in 402 response before data is returned

## How this service works

[3-LEG] ESG fund greenwash chain, one fund (?entity=blackrock-art9-downgrade): leading label pressure, SFDR Article 9 to 8 downgrade and ESG name removal -> current current classification -> realized rating de-listing and lifecycle (confirmation gate). A sequential chain, not one reading - confidence = how many legs are lit, in order. Sources: SFDR filings and rating registries. Descriptive only, never a forecast or advice. No data -> 422 no_charge, not billed.

## Output

A structured JSON object with: a nature disclaimer (observation only, not advice), per-leg readings (fund lifecycle, ESG rating drift, holdings cascade) with signal IDs, current values, observed timestamps, and record hashes; a cross-line narrative; provenance metadata including freshness and data lineage traceable to official sources (SFDR/SEC/ESMA); verifiable Ed25519-signed citations; data grade and scope disclosures; and decision points indicating which entity tags can be swapped for re-runs.
