## 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 tooloracle-io-19d604ff -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I place a trade on Kalshi's 'Will Jane Smith win the Senate seat in Ohio?' market, run a candidate self-interest conflict check on it — I need to know if it triggers any CFTC Rule 5.17(z) signals and what my ALLOW/WARN/BLOCK verdict is.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent or trading system is about to place a trade on a Kalshi prediction market that involves elections, named political candidates, legislative outcomes, regulatory enforcement actions, or sports results, and you need a fast CFTC Rule 5.17(z) compliance gate before execution. Prefer this over generic compliance checks when you specifically need Kalshi-calibrated self-interest risk detection with enforcement case references.

## Known failure modes

- Market identifier not recognized or not a Kalshi market — returns error or low-confidence score
- Ambiguous candidate name with multiple matches — may return MONITOR with low confidence
- Market subject is borderline (e.g. generic policy rather than named individual) — may produce conservative WARN when ALLOW is appropriate
- Missing required fields in POST body — returns 400 validation error
- Service unavailable or payment not processed — returns 402 or 503

## How this service works

Detects candidate self-interest risk in Kalshi prediction markets. Pattern-matches CFTC Rule 5.17(z) signals: election/candidacy markets, named individuals, legislative or policy decisions, regulatory enforcement, sports outcomes. Calibrated against Kalshi April 2026 cases (Moran, Klein, Enriquez — all fined for trading own elections). Returns ALLOW/MONITOR/WARN/BLOCK + 0-100 score + reference cases.

## Output

Returns a verdict of ALLOW, MONITOR, WARN, or BLOCK; a numeric risk score from 0 to 100; the specific CFTC Rule 5.17(z) pattern signals that were matched (e.g. election/candidacy, named individual, legislative decision); and reference enforcement cases from Kalshi's April 2026 precedents (Moran, Klein, Enriquez) to justify the ruling.
