## 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-url-report-via-locus-x402-0a9e625a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether https://suspicious-login-page.xyz is safe — run it through VirusTotal and tell me how many antivirus engines flagged it as malicious?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly look up an existing VirusTotal report for a URL without setting up your own VirusTotal API key, and you want pay-per-call pricing via USDC x402 payments. Ideal for agents that need on-demand URL threat intelligence without managing API credentials or monthly subscription costs. Best for checking URLs that have likely already been scanned by VirusTotal's community.

## Known failure modes

- URL not previously scanned by VirusTotal — report may be empty or unavailable
- Invalid or malformed URL input — API may reject or return an error
- Payment failure — USDC transaction not settled, request not processed
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded on the underlying VirusTotal API
- Network timeout or upstream VirusTotal service unavailability
