Returns a structured decision procedure for classifying x402 payment outcomes, computing merchant reputation deltas, and managing trust-tier updates with evidence retention and replay guards.

## 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 agent-to-merchant-post-payment-feedback-and-reputation-update-loop-f20a17ae
```

Example prompt: I just settled an x402 payment to a merchant and got no delivery — walk me through how to classify this as a silent failure, compute the reputation delta, and decide whether to downgrade them on my allowlist.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your agent has just settled an x402 payment and needs a structured, auditable procedure for updating merchant reputation — especially when you need built-in safeguards like minimum-evidence rules, replay guards, and tiered outcome classification. Prefer this over ad-hoc logic when operating at scale across multiple merchants where consistent trust-tier management matters.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid 'input' object returns a schema validation error
- Insufficient evidence to record a negative delta triggers kill criteria without update
- Ambiguous outcomes may return a procedure without a definitive classification
- Service unavailability returns a non-200 response with no decision brief
- Replayed failure event detected — procedure returns no-op to prevent double-penalty

## How this service works

Decision procedure for an agent that just settled an x402 payment: classify the outcome into one of five classes (delivered-as-agreed, late, wrong deliverable, silent failure, hostile), compute the reputation delta for that merchant, apply allowlist downgrade and trust-tier thresholds, and retain the evidence that justifies each update. Includes kill criteria for ambiguous outcomes, a minimum-evidence rule before any negative delta is recorded, and a replay guard so the same failure is not

## Output

A prose decision procedure brief ('brief' field) guiding the agent through outcome classification (one of five classes: delivered-as-agreed, late, wrong deliverable, silent failure, hostile), reputation delta computation, allowlist downgrade thresholds, minimum-evidence requirements before negative deltas are recorded, and a replay guard to prevent duplicate penalization. Also includes service metadata, generation source, and ISO-8601 timestamp.
