## 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 manylives-track-records-1h-low-drawdown-strategies-8d6e7a40
```

Example prompt: Pull the safest profitable hourly trading strategies from ManyLives — I want the ones with the smallest max drawdown, ranked by risk, with their on-chain verified return percentages.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI trading agent needs a pre-filtered, ranked list of low-risk hourly strategies with verifiable on-chain backtests, rather than building its own screening logic. Ideal when risk minimization (low max drawdown) is the primary selection criterion over pure return maximization. Prefer this over general market data endpoints when strategy selection — not price discovery — is the goal.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure (402) if x402 USDC payment of $0.01 is not sent correctly
- Empty results if no strategies meet the low-drawdown profitable criteria at query time
- Stale or unavailable on-chain data leading to incomplete return metrics marked as computed*
- Malformed response if the strategy database is being updated
- Rate limiting or timeout if the Base network is congested during verification
