## 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-latest-comments-via-locus-x402-2662f5a8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest 20 comments from VirusTotal so I can see what the security community has been saying about recent threats.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need the latest VirusTotal community commentary rather than scan results for a specific file, URL, domain, or IP. It is useful for ambient threat-intelligence monitoring, enriching reports with community context, or surfacing trending analyst discussion. Prefer this over file/URL/domain scan endpoints when you want crowd-sourced commentary rather than engine verdicts.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — request rejected before data is returned
- Invalid limit value (non-numeric or negative) — may return error or default to 10
- Rate limiting by the underlying VirusTotal API — upstream throttle error propagated
- Network timeout connecting to the Locus x402 proxy — request times out
- No comments available — empty data object returned
