## 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 gentech-labs-defender-avalanche-address-classifier-b18a5902
```

Example prompt: Can you classify the Avalanche address 0x1234...abcd for me and tell me whether it's flagged as malicious, a scammer, or safe before I send funds to it?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, per-address security classification on the Avalanche C-Chain (chainId 43114) before executing DeFi transactions, payments, or agentic treasury operations. It is especially useful for AI agents that must screen recipient addresses on Avalanche automatically. Prefer this over generic blockchain explorers when you need a structured threat label rather than raw transaction history.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed Avalanche address returns an error or empty classification
- Address not yet indexed in the threat database may return an unknown/unclassified result
- Network or API downtime returns a 5xx error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in a 402 response with no classification returned
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion may return a 429 error
