# WHP Standing — Wheeler Hubbell Publishing Front-Door Evaluation

> WHP Standing — Wheeler Hubbell Publishing Front-Door Evaluation is a paid API for AI agents from standing-guard-service.lovable.app, paid per call via x402, $1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Evaluates a subject's machine-verifiable standing under explicit authority and bounds, returning a signed determination record.

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 whp-standing-wheeler-hubbell-publishing-front-door-evaluation-a57968e1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Check the standing of 'Acme Corp' under Wheeler Hubbell Publishing authority and submit the claim that 'Acme Corp is an authorized publishing partner with distribution rights in North America' — I need a signed, machine-verifiable determination back.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a cryptographically signed, machine-verifiable determination of a subject's standing under Wheeler Hubbell Publishing authority — especially when downstream systems or agents require an auditable, tamper-evident credential (Ed25519 signature + record hash). Prefer it over generic identity checks when WHP-specific authority and bounds are the relevant framework, or when you need a structured outcome with explicit boundary conditions and provenance tracking.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (subject or claim) returns a validation error
- Claim exceeds 4000-character limit causing request rejection
- Subject string exceeds 2000-character limit
- Invalid body structure or wrong bodyType causes a 400-style error
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC causes x402 payment-required rejection
- Service unavailable on lovable.app hosting returns 5xx
- Malformed provenance object may result in incomplete evaluation without error

## How this service works

Machine-verifiable standing under explicit authority and bounds.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a signed evaluation record with a determination outcome (e.g. 'RECOGNIZED WITH BOUNDARIES'), a list of any required-but-missing fields, a not_sealed_mark boolean, an Ed25519 signature (algorithm, base64url value, and public key), and a SHA-256 hex record hash for verification.
