> MAKO Agent Commerce Verifier is a paid API for AI agents from mako.pollinateresearch.com, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

## 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 mako-pollinateresearch-com-ca487673 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I pay and call that agent at api.somevendor.com, run a MAKO preflight verification on it — check its x402 metadata, route schema, and whether it accepts USDC on Base — and give me the verdict and call plan so I know it's safe to proceed.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to decide whether to trust, call, or pay another agent or API before committing resources — especially in x402-based agent commerce workflows where payment is irreversible. Prefer this over manual inspection when you need a machine-readable verdict, a structured call plan, or a signed receipt for audit purposes. Ideal for multi-agent orchestration pipelines where downstream agent quality and payment compatibility must be confirmed programmatically.

## Known failure modes

- Target endpoint is unreachable or returns no x402 discovery metadata — verdict: unverifiable
- Target agent's price exceeds caller's stated budget threshold — verdict: price-fail
- Route schema is malformed or missing — verdict: schema-fail
- Target network not supported for settlement — verdict: network-mismatch
- x402 discovery metadata is present but incomplete — partial verdict with warnings
- Caller's payment of $0.25 USDC fails or is not confirmed — request rejected before verification runs
