## 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 tali-agent-tools-github-bounty-check-14e1c2bf
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether this GitHub issue actually has a real funded bounty on it? Here's the link: https://github.com/BasedHardware/omi/issues/21262

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically determine whether a GitHub issue has a real, funded bounty versus just a label or informal mention — especially before committing developer time. It is the right choice over manual inspection when processing many issues or building an automated bounty-hunting workflow, and it surfaces claim gating and competition data not easily visible at a glance.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent GitHub issue URL returns an error or empty result
- GitHub API rate limit exceeded (unauthenticated) may reduce signal quality
- Issues with no bounty signals return verdict 'unfunded' with empty signals array
- Private or restricted repositories may not be accessible
- Malformed URL parameter causes request failure

## How this service works
