## 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 verigrace-defi-risk-score-api-24c3eacc
```

Example prompt: What's the risk score and full factor breakdown for the Aave v3 protocol on Base — I want to see TVL momentum, APY level, pool concentration, oracle redundancy, and contract age before I deposit funds.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, multi-factor risk score for a specific DeFi protocol before allocating capital, performing due diligence, or building risk-aware DeFi automation. It is particularly useful when you need a single normalized risk number plus explainable sub-factors (TVL, APY, oracle redundancy, contract age) rather than raw on-chain data you'd have to interpret yourself. Prefer this over generic blockchain explorers or manual DefiLlama queries when you want a ready-to-use risk signal with factor breakdown.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported protocol identifier returns an error or empty result
- Payment failure via x402 if wallet balance is insufficient or Base network is congested
- Stale data if DefiLlama upstream is delayed
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in quick succession
- Invalid protocol name format may return no match

## How this service works

DeFi protocol risk score (0-100) with factor breakdown: TVL momentum, APY level, stablecoin exposure, pool concentration, oracle redundancy, contract age. Pay-per-call: 0.10 USDC on Base via x402. Source: DefiLlama (public data only).

## Output

A JSON response containing a composite risk score from 0 to 100 (higher = riskier) along with individual factor scores or ratings for: TVL momentum, APY level, stablecoin exposure, pool concentration, oracle redundancy, and contract age. Data is sourced from DefiLlama public data.
