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 identity-records-provenance-edge-audit-637e2522 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Run a provenance edge audit on these 2 edges and 3 nodes — the data class is 'public' and all metadata is nonpersonal — flag any unresolved targets, wrong digests, or cycles as negative evidence.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need offline, typed, nonpersonal provenance edge binding for public or synthetic metadata graphs — particularly when you want to audit declared edges against pinned owner/subject frames without triggering any live DID resolution, revocation checks, or signature verification. It is suitable for agent workflows that need lightweight receipt-backed provenance records with a 24-hour result window and 90-day minimal receipt retention, and where unresolved targets or cycles should be captured as structured negative evidence rather than hard errors.

## Known failure modes

- Unresolved edge target nodes returned as negative evidence, not errors
- Wrong content digests flagged as negative evidence rather than hard failures
- Detected cycles returned as negative evidence in the audit result
- Edges or nodes exceeding array limits (max 32 each) will be rejected
- Requests with nonpersonalMetadata not set to true will be rejected
- Attempts to use with personal data or live credential lookups are out of scope and will fail

## How this service works

Bind a declared edge to both pinned endpoints and the exact owner/subject frame. Unresolved targets, wrong digests and cycles remain negative evidence, not independent provenance verification for public nonpersonal agent credential declarations. No DID resolution, live revocation lookup, signature verification, person identification, key custody or identity certification. Offline typed nonpersonal metadata only. Result retention: 24 hours; minimal receipt metadata: 90 days.

## Output

Returns an edge binding receipt that maps each declared edge to its pinned endpoints and owner/subject frame, with negative evidence flags for unresolved targets, wrong digests, and detected cycles. No live DID resolution, revocation lookup, signature verification, or identity certification is performed. Full audit result is retained for 24 hours; minimal receipt metadata is retained for 90 days.
