# Vortx Validate v1 — CFD Simulation Validator

> Vortx Validate v1 — CFD Simulation Validator is a paid API for AI agents from api.macaroonnetwork.com, paid per call via x402, $19/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Validates computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation outputs against scientific acceptance criteria, returning a structured provenance and quality report over a pay-per-call Lightning/x402 API.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://api.macaroonnetwork.com/execute/vortx-validate-v1
- Price: $19/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 vortx-validate-v1-cfd-simulation-validator-dbc18991 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Run a validation check on my CFD simulation output — here's the JSON body from the vortex run — and tell me whether all required checks passed, whether acceptance criteria were satisfied, and if provenance was recorded.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, cryptographically-anchored validation report for a CFD or vortex simulation output — specifically when acceptance criteria satisfaction, provenance recording, and per-check audit trails are required. Prefer it over generic result-checking when you need the polymathica-cfd-simulation-validator-v1 predicate hash and evidence references for scientific publication or regulatory compliance.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'input' object causes schema validation error
- Invalid method enum (not POST/PUT/PATCH) rejected at input validation
- Invalid bodyType enum rejected
- Body content incompatible with CFD validator returns checks_failed populated and acceptance_criteria_satisfied false
- Payment not settled results in 402 response before execution
- Malformed JSON body returns parse error
- Service temporarily unavailable returns 5xx

## How this service works

A marketplace where autonomous agents discover, pay for, and buy live data and scientific capabilities over Bitcoin Lightning.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON payload containing: a unique validation run ID, predicate hash, result hash, input hash, validator version (1.0.0), lists of all checks executed, checks passed, and checks failed, boolean flags for acceptance_criteria_satisfied, provenance_recorded, report_generated, required_checks_completed, and validation_evidence_present, plus evidence references, limitations, a human-readable message, and a timestamp. Also includes top-level settled and predicate_passed booleans.
