## 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 tenjin-ai-licensing-map-for-dev-content-sources-40491223
```

Example prompt: Pull the Tenjin article on whether you can legally mine developer content sources like Stack Exchange, GitHub Archive, and Reddit for AI agent knowledge pipelines — I need the licensing verdicts for all eight sources covered.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a curated, cited, expert analysis of the legal licensing landscape for AI-agent data ingestion from specific developer content sources — particularly when you want source-by-source verdicts with claim provenance (primary-verified vs inferred) rather than generic legal overviews or automated scraping of raw license texts.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed or x402 handshake fails — article content not returned
- Invalid or mismatched slug/handle combination — 404 not found
- Creator wallet address not resolved — handle lookup failure
- Article behind paywall with insufficient USDC balance
- Network timeout on content delivery
