## 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 iot-malware-validator-mcp-f0ac4a92 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if this IoT device query looks like malware: 'GET /admin/setup.cgi?next_file=netgear.cfg&todo=syscmd&cmd=rm+-rf+/tmp/*'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, binary malware classification for IoT-specific query strings or network payloads, particularly when integrating into a security pipeline that processes device traffic or router/firmware requests at scale.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' field returns validation error
- Empty query string may return false negatives
- Ambiguous or highly encoded payloads may not match known signatures
- Payment failure (x402) blocks execution
- Overly long query strings may be truncated or rejected
