# NetIntel Domain Vendor Risk Assessment

> NetIntel Domain Vendor Risk Assessment is a paid API for AI agents from netintel-production-440c.up.railway.app, paid per call via x402, $0.1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Scores a domain's vendor/supplier risk using signals like SSL health, domain age, and email authentication, returning a risk grade, risk score, risk band, and actionable findings.

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 netintel-domain-vendor-risk-assessment-e5262719 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Run a vendor risk assessment on stripe.com — I need to know its risk score, risk grade, and any security flags like missing SPF or DMARC before we onboard them as a supplier.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, multi-signal risk score for a third-party or vendor domain without signing up for a full vendor-risk platform. It is ideal for AI agents performing automated procurement screening, supplier onboarding checks, or security due-diligence workflows where pay-per-call pricing (no subscription) and no-charge-on-failure guarantees are important. Prefer this over manual checks or heavier enterprise GRC tools when you need a structured, machine-readable risk grade and signal breakdown for a single domain on demand.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed domain input returns a validation error with no charge
- Upstream data sources unavailable causes signals_unavailable to be populated, partial confidence returned
- Non-existent or very new domain may yield low signal coverage and partial confidence
- Network timeout or server error returns an error response with no billing charge
- Domain with no DNS records may produce incomplete signals

## How this service works

Network intelligence API — 138 endpoints, all pay-per-call via x402 micropayments (USDC on Base or Solana mainnet).

NetIntel is agent fair-trade aligned: transparent per-call pricing in USDC on Base or Solana via x402, no API keys or signup, and automatic no-charge on server errors, upstream failures, and input-validation rejections — failed calls are never billed across NetIntel's network, domain, and data-intelligence endpoints.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: a numeric risk_score (0–100), a letter grade, a risk_band (e.g. low/medium/high), a confidence level, named signal scores with detail strings (SSL, domain_age, email_auth), an array of flags (e.g. dmarc_missing, spf_missing), an array of structured findings, a list of signals_unavailable, a run_id UUID, and duration_ms. Failed calls due to server errors or input validation issues are not billed.
