# Hermes Agent Commerce API – Quality Gate

> Hermes Agent Commerce API – Quality Gate is a paid API for AI agents from hermes-counterparty-api.onrender.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Validates JSON or CSV data against configurable quality thresholds, returning a pass/fail result with detailed checks on duplicates, missing values, mixed types, and an overall quality score.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://hermes-counterparty-api.onrender.com/v1/quality-gate
- Price: $0.01/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 hermes-agent-commerce-api-quality-gate-2158eca6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Run a quality gate on my JSON records and make sure there are zero duplicate rows, no more than 5 missing values, no mixed-type fields, and a minimum quality score of 90 — tell me whether it passes and why if it fails.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a deterministic, rule-based data quality gate for JSON or CSV data with explicit, configurable thresholds (duplicates, missing values, type consistency, quality score). It is ideal for automated pipelines where a binary pass/fail decision is needed before downstream processing. Prefer it over custom validation scripts when you want a paid, reliable, low-latency API call with a structured JSON response and no infrastructure to maintain.

## Known failure modes

- Data fails minimum_quality_score threshold — pass=false with reason in reasons array
- Too many duplicate rows detected — pass=false
- Excessive missing values — pass=false
- Mixed type fields found when allow_mixed_types=false — pass=false
- Malformed CSV or invalid JSON records submitted — likely 4xx error
- Payment not completed via x402 — 402 Payment Required response

## How this service works

Agent utilities for company research, package maintenance intelligence, dependency vulnerability checks, counterparty availability, SEC company snapshots, OFAC sanctions screening, and deterministic JSON/CSV data-quality work. Company domain intelligence includes a free preview before the paid enrichment call.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a top-level `pass` boolean, a numeric `quality_score` (0–100), observed dataset statistics (field_count, record_count, duplicate_rows, missing_values, mixed_type_fields), the applied thresholds, a `checks` object with per-rule outcomes, and a `reasons` array listing why the data failed any checks. Schema version 1.0.
