# Seneschal At-Risk Count

> Seneschal At-Risk Count is a paid API for AI agents from api.seneschal.space, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns the current count of Ethereum positions at risk of liquidation, providing free liquidation telemetry for DeFi monitoring.

## Facts

- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14

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 seneschal-at-risk-count-d917ce49
```

Example prompt: How many Ethereum DeFi positions are currently at risk of liquidation right now? Pull the latest at-risk count from Seneschal's liquidation telemetry.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a real-time count of at-risk Ethereum liquidation positions sourced from a block builder with privileged mempool visibility. Prefer it over generic DeFi analytics when you need low-latency, block-builder-level data at very low per-call cost ($0.001 USDC).

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed query properties parameter returns error
- Service unavailable if block builder telemetry feed is down
- Payment required (402) if x402 USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting if called too frequently without payment

## How this service works

Single-fact: how many borrowers have HF < max_hf and debt >= min_debt_usd right now? Returns {count, total_debt_usd}.

## Output

A count or snapshot of Ethereum mainnet positions currently at risk of liquidation, drawn from Seneschal's block-builder-level telemetry data.
