Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 baby-blue-viper-residence-act-agent-governance-policy-enforcement-1f2e2343 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before you run that shell command to deploy the new config, check it against my house rules — max spend of 5000 sats, require my review for anything risky, and remember this decision — then tell me if you should proceed.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an autonomous agent needs policy-gated approval before executing a potentially risky or irreversible action — especially when spending limits, human-review gates, or persistent memory of past decisions are required. Prefer over generic LLM calls when you need structured verdicts with audit trails in a Lightning-native agent stack.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed intent field returns 400 validation error
- Policy object with invalid keys may be silently ignored or cause partial enforcement
- Insufficient account balance (Lightning/USDC) results in 402 Payment Required before processing
- artifact_type enum mismatch causes rejection or fallback to 'general'
- Network timeout on Lightning payment resolution leaves action ungoverned

## How this service works

A neutral verdict before an irreversible action, a signed proof after, and a public track record of being right you recompute — not a score you trust. The verdict is provably committed before the outcome it's graded against: no TEE, no trusted scorer.

## Output

A structured JSON object containing: a boolean 'proceed' flag, a verdict object with 'approve'/'reject' and a list of any policy issues found, plus flags indicating whether the action was governed, remembered, and whether continuity was maintained.
