## 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 github-latest-release-info-ef7c3c98
```

Example prompt: What's the latest release of the 'cli/cli' GitHub repo — give me the tag, when it was published, whether it's a prerelease, and the download links for any assets.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured release metadata from any public GitHub repository without setting up GitHub API authentication or handling pagination. Ideal for agents that need to check the latest version of a tool, monitor release cadence, or extract asset download links on demand. At $0.01 per call it is cost-effective for occasional or automated checks.

## Known failure modes

- Repository not found — invalid owner or repo name returns an error
- Repository exists but has no releases and no tags — no fallback data available
- Rate limiting or upstream GitHub API unavailability
- Malformed repository identifier in query params

## How this service works

Latest GitHub release of a repository: tag, name, published date, days ago, prerelease flag, author, first 600 chars of the release notes, and the downloadable assets (name, size, download count, URL). Falls back to the newest tag when a repo has no releases. $0.01 per repo.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the release tag, release name, published date, how many days ago it was published, a prerelease boolean, the author's GitHub username, the first 600 characters of the release notes, and an array of downloadable assets each with name, file size in bytes, download count, and direct download URL. Falls back to the newest tag if the repository has no formal releases.
