## 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 geld-machen-red-flag-scan-959e6537
```

Example prompt: Can you scan this pitch for red flags — 'Earn $500/day passively from home, no experience needed, limited spots!' — and also check the landing page at https://easymoney-promo.net for sketchy signals?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a combined textual analysis plus optional live URL fingerprinting of a side-income, gig, or investment pitch. It is specifically tuned for detecting get-rich-quick, MLM, passive-income, and affiliate scam patterns — not a general-purpose content moderation or spam filter. Prefer it over simpler URL fingerprint tools when offer copy is available and scam-signal detection is the primary goal.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required offer_text parameter returns a 4xx error
- Invalid or unreachable offer_url causes URL fetch to fail or return partial results without live fingerprint
- Offer text too short or generic may yield low-confidence or inconclusive flag output
- Payment of $0.25 USDC via x402 must succeed before results are returned; failed payment returns 402

## Output

A structured red-flag report identifying suspicious patterns in the offer text (e.g. income guarantees, urgency tactics, MLM structures) and, if a URL is provided, technical signals such as body hash, TLS/DNS metadata, and domain age from RDAP — enabling the agent to assess overall trustworthiness of the pitch.
