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 forest-gas-station-release-preflight-check-6a368124 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I deploy, can you preflight check the 'openai/openai-python' repository to make sure there's a usable latest release — skip prereleases.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, low-cost preflight check to confirm a repository has a deployable or downloadable release before committing to a heavier download or deployment step. Ideal for CI/CD pipelines, automated dependency checks, or agent workflows that need to gate on release availability without fetching full artifacts. Prefer over direct GitHub API calls when you want a normalized, pay-per-use check without managing API tokens.

## Known failure modes

- Repository not found or inaccessible — returns an error or not-found status
- No releases exist on the repository — preflight returns a negative/unusable result
- Specified release tag does not exist — validation fails with a not-found indicator
- Rate limiting on upstream repository provider — may return a timeout or error
- allow_prerelease is false but only prereleases exist — returns unusable/no-stable-release result

## How this service works
