## 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-escrow-status-check-755e1178 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check the current status of my escrow agreement — the ID is escrow_abc123xyz — and tell me whether it's pending, released, refunded, or expired?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a previously created escrow ID from the escrow/create endpoint and need to know its current lifecycle state. It is the canonical way to poll or verify whether a conditional payment has been fulfilled, refunded, or has lapsed on the x402-services platform.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown escrow ID returns an error response
- Malformed request body missing the required 'id' field returns a validation error
- Network timeout or service unavailability from the Railway-hosted backend
- Stale or already-purged escrow records may return not-found errors

## How this service works

Check the state of a conditional-payment agreement (pending/released/refunded/expired). Send { id }.

## Output

Returns the current state of the escrow agreement: one of pending, released, refunded, or expired, along with any relevant metadata about the conditional payment identified by the provided escrow ID.
