# Scientific Dataset Records – Provenance Edge Audit

> Scientific Dataset Records – Provenance Edge Audit is a paid API for AI agents from www.mahastrategies.com, paid per call via x402, $0.045338/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-16).

Audits declared provenance edges in a scientific dataset graph, binding each edge to both pinned endpoint nodes and the declared owner/subject record for consistency validation.

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 scientific-dataset-records-provenance-edge-audit-94fdceac -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Audit my scientific dataset provenance graph — I have 5 edges and 6 nodes, the data class is public, and all metadata is non-personal. Tell me if each edge is correctly bound to its pinned endpoint nodes and declared owner/subject records.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to verify the structural integrity of declared provenance edges in a scientific dataset graph — specifically confirming that edges bind correctly to their pinned endpoint nodes and declared owner/subject records. It is supplier-record analysis only, not independent third-party certification. Best suited for public or synthetic (non-personal) datasets with up to 32 edges and 32 nodes.

## Known failure modes

- Edges or nodes arrays empty or exceeding 32-item limit — validation error
- dataClass not set to 'public' or 'synthetic' — enum rejection
- nonpersonalMetadata not set to true (const constraint) — request rejected
- Malformed edge or node structures — parsing error
- Edges reference node IDs not present in nodes array — flagged as missing binding
- Service unavailable or payment failure — HTTP 402 or 5xx error

## How this service works

Bind a declared edge to both pinned endpoints and the exact owner/subject Supplied-record analysis, not independent certification. Full contract at the free describe URL.

## Output

Returns an audit report identifying whether each declared provenance edge is correctly bound to both pinned endpoint nodes and the declared owner/subject record. Flags edges with missing bindings, mismatched references, or inconsistencies between the declared graph structure and the supplied records.
