## 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 settled-bounty-task-honeypot-scanner-6fe15f20
```

Example prompt: Before you start working on that GitHub bounty at https://github.com/some-org/some-repo/issues/42, scan it with Settled to check the trust score and see if there are any honeypot flags or hidden prompt injection instructions I should know about.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent or human is about to work on a bounty, task, or GitHub issue found in the wild and needs to verify it is not a honeypot, prompt injection trap, or credential-harvesting scheme before investing time or exposing secrets. Prefer this over generic URL scanners when the context is specifically agent-income or bounty safety in the x402/GitHub ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-HTTPS URL returns an error
- Private GitHub repositories may be inaccessible without credentials
- Rate limits on GitHub API may cause transient failures
- Archived repos with no detectable anomalies may still return low-confidence scores
- Newly created repos with no history may produce inconclusive trust scores

## How this service works

Scan one bounty / task / repository URL before working on it: fetches it (GitHub issues and repos via the API), runs the honeypot pattern scan (hidden HTML-comment instructions, prompt injection, credential requests, fork/star anomalies, dead or archived repos, reward anomalies) and returns a trust score, a label and every flag with its reason.

## Output

Returns a trust score (numeric), a trust label (e.g. safe/suspicious/risky), and a list of flags each with a reason — covering honeypot patterns like hidden HTML-comment instructions, prompt injection attempts, credential requests, fork/star anomalies, dead or archived repos, and reward anomalies.
