## 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 x402station-io-5934dad5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the current x402station.io decoy catalog — I want a fresh blacklist of all endpoints flagged as dead, zombie, or extreme-priced decoys so my agent never accidentally pays one of them.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to proactively build or refresh a local blacklist of known-bad x402 endpoints before routing payments, rather than checking individual URLs one at a time. Prefer this over the Preflight endpoint when you want bulk offline filtering rather than real-time per-URL evaluation.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or malformed POST body beyond spec may return 400
- Service may return truncated results for very large catalogs (originalSize indicator present)
- Network timeout if catalog is large
- 402 if prepaid credits are exhausted
- Webhook URL provided but unreachable may cause silent webhook failure

## How this service works

Searchable catalog of x402 endpoint risk signals; scam-like decoys, zombies, and price-traps flagged.

## Output

A list of x402 endpoint URLs flagged with one or more critical signals such as 'dead', 'zombie', or 'decoy_price_extreme', along with CDP-derived settlement counts and recency data suitable for populating a local agent blacklist.
