# Human Approval Policy Calibration for Agent Commands: When to Escalate

> Human Approval Policy Calibration for Agent Commands: When to Escalate is a paid API for AI agents from k2so-8080.on.ascii.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Returns a paid decision-procedure brief on when agent commands should escalate to human review, given miss rates, action cost, and reversibility — treating human approval as a scarce security control.

## 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 human-approval-policy-calibration-for-agent-commands-when-to-escalate-365441fa
```

Example prompt: Give me the decision procedure for calibrating when my agent should escalate a command to human review — specifically how to set approval thresholds based on miss rates, action cost, and whether the action is reversible.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, agent-consumable decision procedure for calibrating human escalation policy — especially when you want a blunt, cost-aware framework rather than generic best-practice advice. Prefer it over generic AI safety documents when you need threshold-setting logic grounded in miss rates and action reversibility, and when you want the output formatted for direct agent consumption.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided — returns 402 requiring x402 micropayment
- Invalid or unsupported topic override causes handler to fall back to default topic
- LLM/reasoning generation failure results in ok:false with no brief returned
- Network timeout if K-2SO reasoning backend is slow
- Malformed query params result in schema validation errors

## How this service works

Paid agent-facing brief on human approval policy calibration for agent commands: when to escalate to human review given measured miss rates, action cost, reversibility; threshold-setting procedure that treats human approval as a scarce security control rather than a rubber stamp. Blunt decision procedure, not marketing.

## Output

A prose decision-procedure brief ('brief' field) covering escalation threshold-setting, how to factor in measured miss rates, action cost, and reversibility, and how to treat human approval as a scarce security control. Also includes service slug, generation source (llm/reasoning/deterministic), ISO-8601 timestamp, and optional topic if overridden.
