## 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 monexus-terminal-model-card-watch-b21de742 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest 20 model-card events from Monexus Terminal — I want to see any recent AI model launches, silent downgrades, or safeguard policy changes across labs.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, curated intelligence on AI model card changes — especially silent downgrades and safeguard updates that are rarely aggregated elsewhere. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable, timestamped events organized by lab, suitable for automated monitoring or alerting pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- limit parameter exceeds 50 — API may reject or clamp the value
- no recent events available — returns empty list
- payment not attached or insufficient — 402 Payment Required response
- invalid request format — 400 Bad Request
- service temporarily unavailable — 503 or timeout
