# ForgeMesh Anomaly Tracker — Aviation Flight Scan

> ForgeMesh Anomaly Tracker — Aviation Flight Scan is a paid API for AI agents from anomaly.forgemesh.io, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Scans a specified airspace region for real-time aviation anomalies including squawk alerts, rapid descents, and unusual flight sequence patterns using NASA-derived algorithms.

## Facts

- Price: $0.03/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14

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 forgemesh-anomaly-tracker-aviation-flight-scan-53277214 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scan the North Atlantic airspace right now for aviation anomalies — I want to know if there are any active squawk 7700 events, rapid descents, or unusual flight sequences, and what the overall anomaly score looks like?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time aviation anomaly intelligence for a specific airspace region, especially when monitoring for emergency squawk codes (7700/7600/7500), sudden altitude changes, or unusual flight sequence patterns. Prefer this over generic flight tracking APIs when you need anomaly scoring and narrative summaries rather than raw positional data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported region string returns a validation error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks request via x402
- Upstream aviation data feed latency may cause stale or incomplete results
- Missing required 'input' field returns schema validation error
- Service unavailability during high-load periods may return 5xx errors

## How this service works

Sequence anomaly analysis for a named airspace region — detects unusual emergency squawk clustering, rapid descents, or speed anomalies

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: a human-readable anomaly story label (e.g. 'Elevated Activity'), the scanned region, a novelty rating (e.g. 'medium'), count of airborne aircraft, total aircraft tracked, a sequence score indicating anomaly severity, and an array of peak activity window event types (e.g. SQUAWK_7700, RAPID_DESCENT).
