# GitHub Repository Health Check

> GitHub Repository Health Check is a paid API for AI agents from base-agent-preflight.bytoken2023.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Assesses a public GitHub repository's health, activity, identity, and risk level, returning a structured safety assessment with risk score and flags.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://base-agent-preflight.bytoken2023.workers.dev/v1/x402/software/github-repository-health
- Price: $0.02/call
- Payment: x402

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 github-repository-health-check-2a047b99
```

Example prompt: Can you check the health and safety of the GitHub repo 'openai/openai-python' — I want to know the risk score, any flags, and whether it looks trustworthy before I use it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured, machine-readable safety assessment of a public GitHub repository before consuming it as a dependency, integrating it into a pipeline, or trusting code from it. Prefer this over manual GitHub inspection when you need a risk score and flags in a standardized format suitable for automated agent workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Repository not found or is private — returns error indicating inaccessible repo
- Invalid owner or repo name format not matching required pattern — returns validation error
- GitHub API rate limiting or downtime causing upstream failures
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — returns 402 Payment Required
- Network or worker timeout for slow repository lookups

## How this service works

Machine-payable service intelligence for discovering, verifying, and monitoring identity, risk, authorization, execution-preflight, and evidence APIs before autonomous agents spend.

## Output

A JSON object containing the product name, network (eip155:8453), an assessment with risk_level (e.g. 'low'), a numeric risk_score, and a list of flags. May also include activity, identity, and provenance sub-objects describing the repository's characteristics.
