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 strale-swift-bic-code-validator-9cc1fbdf
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether the SWIFT code DABASESX is valid before I submit this international wire transfer?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, auditable SWIFT/BIC code validation with a cryptographic audit trail — particularly useful in compliance-sensitive workflows, fintech pipelines, or payment automation where you need verifiable proof that a bank code was checked. It is well-suited for agents operating across the 27 countries Strale covers and when an immutable audit record per call is a requirement.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed SWIFT/BIC code returns a validation failure with formatting error details
- Non-existent BIC code returns not-found or invalid result
- Missing required 'swift' query parameter returns a 400 bad request
- Network or upstream data source unavailability returns a 5xx error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance may block the x402 call

## How this service works

The trust layer for AI agents — 250+ independently tested data capabilities across 27 countries. Execute capabilities via REST, MCP, A2A, or x402 micropayments. Every call returns an audit record with cryptographic chain hashing.

## Output

Returns a validation result indicating whether the provided SWIFT/BIC code is valid, correctly formatted, and recognized as a real bank identifier. Each response includes a tamper-evident audit record with cryptographic chain hashing for compliance and traceability purposes.
