# SCVD General Store — Change Check

> SCVD General Store — Change Check is a paid API for AI agents from scvd.store, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-28).

Returns a cryptographically signed comparison of a retained baseline certificate against current recorded observations for a given host, flagging changes, dates, and coverage gaps.

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 scvd-general-store-change-check-3f9e154a
```

Example prompt: Check whether anything has changed on api.example.com since baseline certificate cert-abc123 was issued — I want a signed comparison showing any changes, dates, and gaps in the observation record.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a cryptographic, signed record of whether a host has changed since a specific previously-issued baseline certificate. It is uniquely suited for compliance audits, supply-chain integrity checks, and agent workflows that need a tamper-evident artifact proving continuity or change. Prefer it over generic monitoring tools when you need a signed, verifiable certificate (not just a diff) and when the comparison must be traceable to a specific prior cert ID. It does not make live requests to hosts — it reasons from SCVD's retained observation corpus, making it safe and deterministic.

## Known failure modes

- Missing baseline_cert_id or host query parameters — request refused before payment gate, no charge incurred
- Unknown or unrecognized baseline_cert_id — returns an error or not_found verdict
- Host never observed by SCVD corpus — returns a not_observed verdict (valid, signed answer, not an error)
- Malformed host parameter (includes scheme, path, or port) — rejected by schema validation
- Payment failure or invalid x402 signed request — request not processed

## How this service works

Change Check. REQUIRES ?baseline_cert_id= and ?host= on the paid request — a signed request without them is refused before the gate and no money moves. A signed comparison of a retained original with current recorded observations, dates and gaps Full listing: https://scvd.store/menu/change_check. MCP tool: buy_change_check.

## Output

A cryptographically signed (ed25519) JSON certificate comparing the stored baseline certificate (identified by baseline_cert_id) against current recorded observations for the specified host. The response includes a change verdict, observation timestamps, identified gaps in coverage, and a patron badge URL. If the host has never been observed, the verdict is 'not_observed'. No live request is made to the host; the comparison is drawn entirely from SCVD's retained corpus.
