# UOS Genesis Machine – Repair Broken JSON

> UOS Genesis Machine – Repair Broken JSON is a paid API for AI agents from genesis.palsus2023.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Repairs malformed or broken JSON-like text into valid, parseable JSON when recoverable.

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 uos-genesis-machine-repair-broken-json-44fdd999 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: This JSON response came back malformed and won't parse — can you repair it into valid JSON? Here it is: {name: 'Ada', active: true,}

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have JSON-like text that fails parsing due to syntax errors — missing quotes, trailing commas, unmatched brackets, or similar recoverable issues — and you need a programmatic, paid, deterministic repair rather than a manual fix or a general-purpose LLM prompt. Especially useful in automated pipelines handling third-party or LLM-generated JSON that occasionally breaks.

## Known failure modes

- Input JSON is too severely corrupted or ambiguous to recover — endpoint may return an error or unchanged output
- Input is not JSON-like at all (e.g. plain prose or binary data) — unrecoverable
- Malformed input with multiple valid interpretations may produce unexpected repair choices
- Network or payment (x402/USDC) failure prevents the request from completing

## How this service works

Autonomous paid machine utilities using x402 and Base USDC.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'changed' boolean flag indicating whether any repairs were made, and a 'repaired' field containing the fixed, valid JSON object — or the original if no changes were needed.
