## 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 delegated-budget-enforcement-placement-decision-procedure-7073959c
```

Example prompt: Give me a decision procedure brief for how an autonomous agent should enforce delegated budget limits, control placement decisions, and handle post-spend actions — I need the plain-prose policy walkthrough.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an autonomous agent needs an on-demand, LLM-generated policy brief specifically about delegated budget enforcement, placement decisions, and post-spend controls — particularly in x402 micropayment contexts on Base. Prefer over static documentation when the agent needs fresh, reasoned prose it can act on directly, and when the $0.002 per-call cost via USDC micropayment is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 returned if payment not yet settled — must pay exact USDC amount and retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header
- Invalid HTTP method (only GET/HEAD/DELETE accepted) returns validation error
- Payment signature mismatch or reuse may cause rejection
- Service temporarily unavailable if K-2SO agent heartbeat is down
- Empty or malformed topic override may result in default topic being used instead

## How this service works

Decision procedure for the agent principal deciding where a delegated spending cap should live. Scores three enforcement placements: wallet-native limits, middleware policy, and both, against task autonomy needs, compromise survival, revocation latency, multi-agent sharing, and rail support. Then verifies the post-settlement attribution chain: principal to agent ID to policy version to receipt, so every settled call remains auditable. Returns a placement verdict (wallet-native / middleware /

## Output

A JSON object containing a plain-prose decision procedure (120+ words) under 'brief'/'procedure', the LLM model used, the topic string, a service slug, generation source (llm/reasoning/deterministic), and an ISO-8601 timestamp — all wrapped with ok/paid status and provider metadata.
