## 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 verify-task-funding-a406de37 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether this crypto bounty is actually funded and worth taking — the gross payout is 18 USDC and my estimated cost to complete it is around $14.70?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent or freelancer needs a fast, quantitative go/no-go signal on whether a specific online bounty or crypto task offer is worth pursuing. It is especially useful in automated bounty-hunting pipelines where filtering unprofitable tasks early saves time and effort. Prefer it over manual inspection when you need a structured net-expected-value calculation and break-even probability rather than a simple eligibility check.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible task URL — returns error indicating the offer could not be fetched
- Missing required payout or cost fields — returns validation error
- Task already closed or ineligible — analysis returns with skip recommendation and low/zero gross payout
- Payment not processed (x402 protocol failure) — request rejected before analysis runs
- Ambiguous currency or payout format — may return parsing error

## How this service works

A free agent skill for checking whether an online bounty, freelance task, or crypto work offer is open, eligible, and credibly funded.

## Output

A JSON object containing a full profitability analysis: the net expected value (e.g. -14.7 USDC), gross payout, break-even win probability threshold (e.g. 0.39), and a plain-English recommendation of 'skip' or 'pursue'.
