## 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 relayshield-secret-scan-text-fd8411bf -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Scan this code snippet for any leaked secrets or hardcoded credentials: 'const apiKey = "sk-abc123xyz"; const dbPassword = "hunter2";' — and tell me what you find and how severe it is.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, per-call secret scanning check against raw text, code, or diffs without standing up a full static analysis pipeline. It is ideal for agent workflows that intercept code before commit, review, or deployment, and need lightweight pay-per-use secret detection without managing a self-hosted scanner.

## Known failure modes

- Empty content field returns an error or zero findings with no useful signal
- Very large payloads may be truncated or rejected
- Obfuscated or encoded secrets may not be detected
- False positives on placeholder values like 'your-api-key-here'
- Non-standard secret formats from niche providers may be missed
