## 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 whatchuneed-github-repo-info-99bdd6b7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the details for the GitHub repo at https://github.com/coinbase/x402 — I want to know the description, main language, star count, and any listed topics?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to quickly retrieve structured metadata about a GitHub repository without setting up direct GitHub API credentials. It is ideal for one-off lookups during research, dependency evaluation, or open-source project discovery tasks where only $0.01 USDC per call is charged via x402 protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent repository URL returns an error or empty result
- Private repositories may not be accessible without authentication tokens
- Rate limiting from GitHub API may cause failures under high call volume
- Malformed input string that cannot be resolved to a repo may return a null or error result
- Network timeout if GitHub is slow to respond
