## 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-free-agent-skill-54f67e4e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if this bounty is actually ready to work on — I want to know if it's credibly funded, whether anything is missing from the brief, and if there are any red flags I should worry about before I accept it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent or freelancer needs to assess a specific bounty, gig, or crypto work offer for legitimacy, completeness, and funding credibility before committing to it — especially in decentralized or crypto-native work marketplaces where scams and underfunded tasks are common. Prefer this over generic web scraping or manual review when you want a structured readiness grade and actionable risk flags in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient task brief data causes low-confidence scoring
- Missing source access or repository links results in 'missing_fields' entries rather than outright failure
- Ambiguous or vague task descriptions may inflate clarifying questions list
- Network or service unavailability returns a non-200 error with no report body
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC causes x402 payment-required rejection

## 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 report containing a readiness grade (e.g. 'ready'), a numeric readiness score (0–100), a list of risk flags, a list of missing fields in the task brief, and clarifying questions the worker should ask before starting.
