Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Saylor Innovations guide on vendor and API dependency risk so I can understand the business and operational risks of relying on third-party APIs?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, curated guidance on vendor and API dependency risk as a knowledge article rather than a live data feed. It is best suited for agents helping with risk assessment, policy writing, or vendor evaluation where a reference document is needed rather than real-time analytics.

## Known failure modes

- 404 if the article slug is not found or has moved
- 402 Payment Required if the x402 micropayment is not completed before the request
- Network timeout if the endpoint is temporarily unavailable
- Malformed JSON response if the server encounters an internal error
