## 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-challenge-conformance-grading-url-payment-surface-scorer-049a1d64
```

Example prompt: I need a blunt decision procedure for scoring any URL's x402 payment surface — covering scheme registration, network, price declaration, and settlement viability — so I can decide whether it's safe to commit my first payment.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an autonomous agent needs a pre-payment conformance gate for x402-gated URLs — specifically when you need a structured scoring rubric covering all four pillars (scheme, network, price, settlement) rather than a generic payment health check. Prefer it over ad-hoc inspection when building repeatable agent payment pipelines or when debugging malformed x402 challenge responses from unknown vendors.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed — returns HTTP 402 with challenge rather than graded brief
- Invalid or missing 'input.type' or 'input.method' fields — schema validation error
- Topic override not recognized — may fall back to default grading procedure
- LLM generation failure — generationSource may reflect fallback or error state
- Network or provider downtime — HTTP 5xx response

## Output

A paid brief containing a blunt, prose decision procedure for grading an x402 URL's payment surface. Covers scheme registration validity, network identification, price declaration correctness, and settlement viability checks. Response includes a 'brief' field with the actionable procedure text, a 'procedure' field, generation metadata (model, generatedAt, generationSource), and standard x402 payment confirmation fields (payer, transaction).
