## 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 is-email-hosted-by-alibaba-mail-watch-2ae9a87c
```

Example prompt: Keep an eye on example.com and let me know if it ever starts or stops being hosted by Alibaba Mail — compare it to the last check and tell me what changed.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to detect changes in Alibaba Mail hosting status over time rather than just a one-time check. Ideal for scheduled monitoring workflows, alerting pipelines, or compliance tracking where you need to know if and when a domain's email infrastructure changes. Prefer the bulk or non-watch variant for one-off checks or batch lookups of multiple domains.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not provided or malformed — missing required input returns an error
- No previous result stored (first call) — changed will be false or undefined as there is no baseline
- DNS lookup failure via Cloudflare DoH — may return an error or indeterminate result
- Domain has no MX records — may return false for Alibaba Mail hosting
- Payment failure — x402 payment of $0.02 USDC required per call; missing payment returns 402

## How this service works

Change watch for is email hosted by alibaba mail: runs the check, compares it with the result from your previous call for the same domain (kept 90 days) and returns the current answer, changed true/false, the fields that changed with before/after values, and when it was last seen. Schedule it to be alerted when this changes. $0.02 per check.

## Output

Previous results are retained for 90 days.
