## 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-mastodon-social-down-watch-73861b62
```

Example prompt: Keep an eye on mastodon.social for me and let me know if its up/down status changes from what it was last time you checked — I want to be alerted the moment it goes down or comes back up.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need change-aware monitoring of mastodon.social specifically — it handles state persistence for up to 90 days so you don't have to store previous results yourself. Prefer it over a raw ping check when you need diff output (what changed, before/after values) rather than just a current status snapshot. Ideal for scheduling periodic polls and triggering alerts only when something actually changes.

## Known failure modes

- No previous check stored (first call returns no diff, only current status)
- Previous result has expired (older than 90 days, treated as first call)
- mastodon.social is unreachable during the check itself (ambiguous timeout vs actual outage)
- Payment failure ($0.02 USDC not satisfied, request rejected with 402)

## How this service works

Change watch for is mastodon social down: runs the check, compares it with the result from your previous call for the same query (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

Returns the current up/down answer for mastodon.social, a boolean 'changed' flag indicating whether the status differs from the previous call (retained up to 90 days), a list of fields that changed with their before and after values, and a timestamp of when the prior state was last seen.
