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 scout-packs-github-repo-health-check-659c4b03
```

Example prompt: Can you check the health of the octocat/hello-world GitHub repo — I want to know how many stars, forks, open issues it has and whether it's been active recently?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call ($0.01 USDC) GitHub repo health snapshot without setting up an API key or subscription. Ideal for AI agents doing one-off dependency checks, OSS project vetting, or competitive analysis on public repos. Prefer over GitHub's own API when you want frictionless micropayment access without OAuth setup.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent repo slug returns an error or empty result
- Missing 'repo' query parameter causes a 400-level error
- Payment failure via x402 blocks access
- Rate limiting or Railway infrastructure downtime causes 5xx errors
- Private repositories inaccessible via GitHub public API return no data

## How this service works

Verified B2B lead packs and per-lead enrichment lookups for agents. $0.01 per lookup or pack (demand probe). USDC on Base via x402. No account, API key, or subscription.

## Output

A JSON object containing the repo identifier, star count, fork count, open issue count, number of commits in the last 90 days, an array of health signals (e.g. ['active']), and a receipt confirmation string.
