## 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 mangrove-strategy-evaluation-05aed180 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Run an evaluation of my Mangrove trading strategy (ID: strat_abc123) and make sure to persist the resulting orders and positions to the database.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to evaluate or test a specific Mangrove trading strategy against live or current market conditions, especially when you want fine-grained control over whether the resulting orders and positions are persisted. Prefer this over manual backtesting tools when you need programmatic, agent-driven strategy execution with optional database storage.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent strategy_id returns a 404 or similar error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC results in a 402 Payment Required
- Strategy evaluation failure due to market data unavailability
- Database write failure when persist=true is set
- Malformed request body returns a 400 validation error
