# The Vault Report Anomaly Watchlist

> The Vault Report Anomaly Watchlist is a paid API for AI agents from thevaultreport.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns all tracked precious-metals and energy series ranked by composite anomaly score (level extremity, 30-day z-score, move velocity), sorted most-abnormal-first with record context.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://thevaultreport.com/api/x402/anomalies
- Price: $0.02/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/the-vault-report-anomaly-watchlist-8fce886a
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_Eu7ybmX2felEvghQFzA4J

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 the-vault-report-anomaly-watchlist-8fce886a
```

Example prompt: Pull the Vault Report anomaly watchlist and show me the top 10 precious metals and energy series that are furthest from their historical norms right now, ranked by their composite anomaly score.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-ranked, multi-metric anomaly watchlist across all tracked precious metals and energy series in one call — particularly when you want composite scoring (level extremity + z-score + velocity) rather than raw snapshots, and when you need record-context flags. Prefer over the free /snapshot when anomaly ranking and scoring detail are required.

## Known failure modes

- limit parameter outside 1–100 range returns a validation error
- payment not submitted or insufficient USDC returns HTTP 402
- service temporarily unavailable returns 5xx
- stale data if upstream commodity feeds are delayed

## How this service works

Ranked market anomalies: every tracked precious-metals and energy series scored by how far its latest reading sits from its own history — a composite of level extremity, 30-day z-score, and move velocity — sorted most-abnormal-first with record context. One call returns a scored anomaly watchlist that the free /snapshot omits. Optional ?limit=N for the top-N.

## Output

A scored, ranked array of commodity series (precious metals and energy), each with: anomaly score, percentile, 30-day change percent, current value and unit, record extremity flag, observation count, record depth label, as-of date, and a detail string. Also includes metadata: total series tracked, score model description, data source, license, and generation timestamp.
