## 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 margin-sufficiency-check-64aad6cd
```

Example prompt: Can you check if my currently posted margin is sufficient to maintain my position without risk of a margin call?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick pass/fail check on margin sufficiency rather than a full margin calculation. Pair it with the sibling 'Calculate required margin for collateral' endpoint when you also need to know the exact margin amount required.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid query parameters returns an error
- Service unavailable if the underlying margin calculation engine is down
- Stale margin data if market prices haven't updated recently
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.01 fee

## How this service works

Check if posted margin is sufficient

## Output

Returns a boolean or status indicating whether the posted margin is sufficient, potentially along with details about the current margin level versus the required threshold.
