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 vehicle-safety-data-lookup-868c73f1
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the vehicle safety data for a 2018 Toyota Camry, or use VIN 1HGBH41JXMN109186 if that makes it easier?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need vehicle safety data and can supply either a full 17-character VIN or a make/model/year combination. It is particularly useful when building automotive research tools, used-car buying assistants, or fleet management agents that need on-demand vehicle lookups for a small per-call USDC micropayment rather than a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed 17-character VIN returns an error
- Missing required parameters (no VIN and no make/model/year combination) returns a validation error
- Unknown or unsupported vehicle make/model/year may return an empty result
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks access with a 402 response
- Year out of supported range (before 1949 or after 2030) returns a validation error

## How this service works

X402 micropayments server — AI agents pay USDC for OFAC screening, rates, and billing verification.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with vehicle safety information and a success flag. The result object contains decoded vehicle attributes and safety data derived from the provided VIN or make/model/year combination.
