## 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 virustotal-analysis-results-via-locus-x402-2ed5ec27 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I submitted a file to VirusTotal earlier and got analysis ID '12345abc-0000-4000-8000-abcdef123456' — can you retrieve the scan results and tell me how many engines flagged it as malicious?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have already submitted a file, URL, domain, or IP to VirusTotal and received an analysis ID, and now need to retrieve the completed scan results. This is the polling/retrieval step in a two-step scan workflow. Prefer this over direct VirusTotal API access when you need pay-per-call micropayment billing via USDC with no API key management.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or expired analysis ID returns empty or error data object
- Analysis still pending returns incomplete results
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents request from completing
- Malformed analysis ID format causes request rejection
- Rate limiting or service unavailability from VirusTotal backend

## How this service works

## Output
