Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 mx-data-helper-url-health-check-5530b23a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether https://api.example.com/health is actually up and reachable right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call HTTP health probe of a single URL without setting up persistent monitoring infrastructure. Ideal for lightweight pre-flight checks in agent workflows before calling downstream dependencies.

## Known failure modes

- URL is malformed or missing scheme — returns validation error
- Target URL times out — returns unreachable/timeout status
- Target URL returns 4xx or 5xx — reflected in health result
- Payment not processed — 402 response before health data is returned
- Service temporarily unavailable on provider side
