# LimitGuard Risk Score

> LimitGuard Risk Score is a paid API for AI agents from api.limitguard.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.65/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

## 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 limitguard-risk-score-38e29a42 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the risk score for Acme Corp BV based in the Netherlands? I need a quick check before we proceed with the deal.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, lightweight risk signal on a legal entity before committing to a full KYB or compliance report. Ideal for pre-screening counterparties, vendors, or transaction partners when speed matters and a full data scan is not yet warranted. Choose this over the full compliance report endpoint when cost and latency are priorities and a rough risk tier is sufficient.

## Known failure modes

- Missing entity_name or country field returns validation error
- Invalid ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code returns error
- Unknown or very obscure entity may return low-confidence or default score
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting if too many requests are sent in a short window

## How this service works

Quick risk score (0-100) for entity name + country. Lightweight check without full data source scan.

## Output

A JSON object containing the entity name, country code, a numeric risk score from 0 to 100, and a risk level label (e.g. 'low', 'medium', 'high') indicating how risky the entity is assessed to be.
