## 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 x402-chain-intel-rug-owner-check-5f6d9825 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I buy into this new token at 0x3fA8B653F9abf91428800C04B4e5b8Ca6b8B8A8A on Ethereum, can you run an owner check on the deployer wallet to see if they have any rug pull history?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to assess the trustworthiness of a token's deployer or owner wallet before executing a trade, listing a token, or making an investment decision. Prefer this over generic wallet scanners when you specifically need rug pull history and deployer reputation signals optimized for trading bot workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed contract address returns 400 error
- Contract address not found on specified chain returns empty result
- Unsupported blockchain network returns error
- Insufficient USDC balance or payment failure returns 402
- Rate limiting if called too frequently
- New wallets with no history may return inconclusive results
