## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability strale-cookie-scan-70b84879
```

Example prompt: Can you scan https://example.com for cookies using a GET request and tell me what cookies are being set?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a verifiable, auditable cookie scan with cryptographic chain hashing for compliance or trust purposes. It is particularly useful when you need an independently tested, tamper-evident record of what cookies a URL sets — distinguishing it from simple browser-based or scraping-based cookie inspection tools. Best for GDPR/CCPA audits, privacy compliance checks, or agent workflows that require a provable audit trail.

## Known failure modes

- URL unreachable or returns non-2xx — scan may fail or return empty cookie data
- Invalid or malformed URL in queryParams.url — validation error returned
- Method not supported for the given URL — server may reject HEAD or DELETE requests
- Network timeout on the target URL — request may time out with no results
- Target URL behind authentication — cookies requiring login may not be captured

## How this service works

Scan a website for cookies, tracking scripts, and consent banners. Categorizes cookies as necessary/analytics/marketing.

## Output

Returns a structured record of cookies detected at the given URL, including cookie names, values, attributes (e.g. HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite), plus a cryptographic audit record with chain hashing for tamper-proof logging.
