## 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 speer-cyber-defense-cve-lookup-b90834e3
```

Example prompt: Can you look up CVE-2024-1234 for me and give me a summary of the vulnerability — what it affects, how severe it is, and whether it's been exploited?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, on-demand CVE detail lookups with pay-per-call micropayment billing (no subscription required). Ideal for AI agents that need to enrich security data with CVE context in automated workflows. Prefer this over free NVD API direct calls when you need a consistent, agent-friendly JSON interface with guaranteed billing only on success.

## Known failure modes

- CVE ID not found or does not exist — returns error or empty result
- Malformed CVE ID format (e.g. missing 'CVE-' prefix) — may return error
- HTTP 503 if the security analysis fails (not billed)
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol — request blocked
- Network timeout if upstream CVE database is unavailable

## How this service works

Cybersecurity micropayments API for AI agents — pay-per-call USDC on Base and Solana (x402 v2). Free utility services under /v1/free/* and gateway select under /v1/gateway/* (Public). Paid cybersecurity analysis, CVE/security news feeds, Base blockchain intelligence, network intel utilities, composite domain/URL reports, research, conversion, verification, and feeds. Failed security analyses are not billed (HTTP 503).

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean indicating success, a 'tool' field identifying the lookup tool used, a 'status' field, and a 'summary' string containing the CVE details such as description, severity, affected systems, and remediation guidance. Failed analyses return HTTP 503 and are not billed.
