## 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 delx-commerce-retention-policy-check-36319fd5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Check if keeping data for 30 days is compliant when the maximum allowed retention is 14 days, and tell me how far over the limit we are.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent or automated workflow needs to programmatically verify whether a data retention duration falls within a defined policy limit, especially in compliance pipelines, data governance checks, or CI/CD gates. It is lightweight ($0.003/call), requires no signup, and returns a structured, machine-readable result with an actionable recommendation — ideal for agents that need a fast, verifiable compliance signal without building custom logic.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (max_days or retention_days) may result in a validation error or unexpected output
- Non-numeric input values will likely cause a schema validation failure
- Negative values for either field may produce undefined behavior
- Network or payment failure via x402 protocol could prevent the call from completing
