## 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`):

Example prompt: Can you pull up all the known hacks and exploits for the Curve Finance protocol from SperaxOS?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need historical DeFi security exploit data scoped to a specific protocol — ideal for due diligence, risk assessment, or security research workflows. It is pay-per-use with no API key required, making it suitable for on-demand agent queries. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, queryable exploit records rather than unstructured news articles.

## Known failure modes

- Protocol name not found returns empty results or 404
- Misspelled protocol name yields no matches due to case-insensitive but string-sensitive search
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient
- Request timeout if the backend intelligence database is slow
- Malformed JSON body returns 400 bad request

## How this service works

AI-powered DeFi intelligence APIs payable via the x402 HTTP payment protocol. No API key required — pay per request with USDC on Base. Identity-only (SIWX) endpoints are free for wallets with an agentcash identity.

## Output

A list of DeFi hack incidents associated with the queried protocol, likely including details such as hack date, funds lost, attack type/vector, and incident description for each recorded exploit event.
