## 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 synthora-identity-risk-3aa7015c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run an identity-risk check on the handle '@coinbase_official_defi' and tell me whether it's authentic, doubtful, or actively impersonating a brand?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, machine-readable impersonation verdict specifically for decentralised social identities (Farcaster, Lens, DID-based handles) that is corroborated across multiple independent data sources, rather than a simple domain/email lookup or a centralised platform's own verification badge. Particularly useful for trust-and-safety pipelines, pre-partnership screening, or brand-monitoring agents operating in Web3 contexts.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty input string returns a validation error
- Unrecognised or completely novel identity handle may return DOUBTFUL due to insufficient corroboration data
- Network timeout or upstream source unavailability may cause a 5xx error
- Malformed input (non-string value) causes a schema validation rejection
- Insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment failure blocks the request before processing

## How this service works

SYNTHORA identity-risk: brand-impersonation verdict (AUTHENTIC / DOUBTFUL / ACTIVE_IMPERSONATION) over decentralised social identities, correlated across independent sources.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a numeric risk score, a boolean delivery/entrega flag, and a three-value verdict in English: AUTHENTIC (the identity appears legitimate), DOUBTFUL (signals are ambiguous), or ACTIVE_IMPERSONATION (the identity is corroborated as impersonating a brand).
