## 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 cold-outreach-legal-policy-checker-17a312db -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Is cold email outreach legally allowed in Germany? Check all channels if possible — I need to know the legal basis and any conditions that apply.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured, citation-backed legal risk assessment of cold outreach legality for a specific country and channel, particularly when operating under or adjacent to GDPR, PECR, CAN-SPAM, CASL, Spam Act, or POPIA. Prefer this over generic legal search tools when you need a machine-readable, actionable policy verdict (allowed/conditional/prohibited) rather than a narrative legal opinion. It covers the most commercially relevant outreach markets for EU/UK/US/APAC/ZA operations.

## Known failure modes

- Country not in covered list (DE, AT, CH, GB, US, CA, AU, NZ, ZA) — request refused before paywall
- Invalid ISO-3166 alpha-2 country code — validation error
- Invalid channel enum value — schema validation error
- Missing required 'country' field — bad request error
- Payment not processed — x402 payment required response

## How this service works

Says whether cold outreach - cold email, phone, SMS or postal mail - is allowed, conditional or prohibited in a given country, with the legal basis (GDPR, PECR, CAN-SPAM, CASL, Spam Act, POPIA and national equivalents) and the conditions that must hold. Covers DE, AT, CH, GB, US, CA, AU, NZ, ZA. A country that is not covered is refused before the paywall. A risk map with citations, not legal advice.

## Output

A risk map indicating for each requested channel whether cold outreach is allowed, conditional, or prohibited in the specified country, along with the applicable legal framework (e.g. GDPR, CAN-SPAM, CASL, PECR, Spam Act, POPIA) and any conditions that must be satisfied to legally conduct outreach. Countries not in the covered list (DE, AT, CH, GB, US, CA, AU, NZ, ZA) are refused before payment is charged.
