## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability proofwork-bounty-reality-check-f86c96bd
```

Example prompt: Can you do a reality check on this GitHub bounty — https://github.com/someorg/repo/issues/123 — the advertised reward is $500 and I need at least $400 profit to make it worthwhile?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent or developer needs a fast, low-cost automated legitimacy score on a public GitHub bounty before committing time or resources. Preferred over manual review when dealing with unknown sponsors, suspicious reward amounts, or tight deadlines that require a quick go/no-go signal. Particularly useful in automated bounty-hunting pipelines that need to triage many issues cheaply ($0.02 per call).

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid issue_url returns a 400-level error
- Private or inaccessible GitHub repository causes evidence gathering to fail
- GitHub rate limits may reduce available evidence signals and lower score confidence
- Ambiguous or deleted issues may return low scores with empty evidence arrays
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient before the call is made

## How this service works

Low-cost evidence reports for Base market data, Base USDC receipts, public bounties, and non-cyber crypto work.

## Output

Returns a numeric score (0–100) reflecting bounty legitimacy and risk, a verdict string (e.g. 'manual_review', 'pass', 'fail'), an array of blockers describing specific disqualifying issues, and an evidence array of supporting signals used to compute the score.
