## 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-endpoint-vetting-procedure-with-payment-contract-checks-42c1c6da
```

Example prompt: Give me a blunt decision procedure for vetting an x402 merchant endpoint before my agent pays — I need to know which niche to focus on: payment-infra contract checks, data acquisition procurement, agent comms inbox, or referral-rate index follow-up.

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when an agent needs a generated, opinionated decision procedure for vetting x402 merchant endpoints or selecting among payment-infra niches, especially before committing autonomous payments. It is distinct from static documentation — it produces a fresh, LLM-generated or deterministic prose brief tailored to the topic. Choose this over sibling endpoints when the primary concern is merchant/endpoint quality and payment contract evaluation, not settlement rail selection or session-key authorization.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not settled — returns 402 with payment required header
- Invalid query parameter values cause schema validation failure
- LLM generation failure may return ok:false with empty brief
- Deterministic fallback used when LLM unavailable, may produce shorter output
- Network timeout on the remote LLM backend

## How this service works

Paid agent-facing brief on Agent-facing payment-infra and data-acquisition procedures: pick the strongest niche among (a) x402 merchant endpoint vetting with payment infra contract checks, (b) data acquisition endpoint procurement, (c) agent comms inbox procedures, (d) referral-rate index follow-up · Build a decision procedure or schema for: Agent-facing payment-infra and data-acquisition procedures: pick the strongest nich-0. Blunt decision procedure, not marketing.

## Output

A JSON object containing a plain-prose decision procedure (120+ words) advising agents on which payment-infra or data-acquisition niche to pursue and how to vet x402 merchant endpoints, along with metadata: the topic, service slug, generation source (llm/reasoning/deterministic), model name, and ISO-8601 timestamp.
