## 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 url-risk-analyzer-b9e08863 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether this URL looks like a phishing or typosquatting attempt trying to impersonate a real brand: https://paypa1-secure-login.com/account?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need lightweight, structural URL risk analysis — particularly for detecting typosquatting, character substitution (e.g. 0 for o), suspicious subdomains, or known brand impersonation patterns — without needing full page content scanning or reputation database lookups. Best suited for real-time phishing triage in pipelines where speed and low cost ($0.01/call) matter.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed URL input returns an error
- Empty or missing URL field causes a 400-level validation error
- Very new or uncommon domains may yield limited signal
- Legitimate but unusual URLs may generate false positive risk flags
- Network or worker timeout on slow upstream analysis

## How this service works

Analyze a URL's structure for phishing/typosquatting/impersonation risk signals.

## Output

Returns a structured risk assessment of the submitted URL, including detected phishing indicators, typosquatting signals, impersonation patterns (e.g. brand lookalikes, character substitutions, suspicious TLDs), and an overall risk classification or score.
