## 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-isthisarug-trade-should-buy-1d417294
```

Example prompt: Should I buy the token at contract 0xabc123...def on Base? Check its LP burn, EOA risk, and EIP-7702 stub gates, and also verify the Twitter handle @rugtoken matches the contract.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a single, actionable buy decision (GO/NO_GO/WAIT) rather than a full diligence report — it is optimized for automated trading agents and bots that need a fast, structured verdict with compact gate results they can act on directly, including optional Twitter-to-contract matching as an extra signal.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed contract address returns an error or NO_GO
- Unrecognized chain hint falls back to default (robinhood)
- Token with no LP pair found may result in WAIT or NO_GO with missing LP gate data
- X/Twitter handle not found yields NO_MATCH signal rather than an error
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402) if USDC payment not attached

## How this service works

USP machine decision GO|NO_GO|WAIT composing LP/EOA/EIP-7702 stub gates + optional X↔CA match. Returns decision, ordered reasons, compact gates, and enough fields to act. Query ca= & optional chain= & handle=. ~$0.01.

## Output

Returns a machine decision of GO, NO_GO, or WAIT along with an ordered list of reasons, compact gate results covering LP burn/lock, EOA LP risk, EIP-7702 stub detection, and optionally an X/Twitter handle-to-contract-address match signal — everything needed to act on the decision programmatically.
