# LimitGuard EU AI Act Compliance Readiness Assessment

> LimitGuard EU AI Act Compliance Readiness Assessment is a paid API for AI agents from api.limitguard.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.11/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Assesses an AI system's readiness for EU AI Act compliance, returning a readiness score and gap analysis based on system type and completed checklist items.

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 limitguard-eu-ai-act-compliance-readiness-assessment-ce6b8854
```

Example prompt: Check how ready my credit_scoring AI system (entity ID 'ent-7821') is for EU AI Act compliance — I've already completed risk_management, data_governance, and transparency checklist items.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured, per-entity EU AI Act compliance readiness score with actionable gap analysis for high-risk AI system types (credit scoring, trust scoring, biometric identification, employment screening). It is particularly useful for AI governance workflows, pre-audit preparation, or iterative compliance tracking as checklist items are completed. Prefer this over generic compliance tools when operating in the EU regulatory context and needing machine-readable readiness scores.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported system_type returns UNDETERMINED status rather than a specific score
- Invalid entity_id returns an error or empty result
- Missing required parameters results in a validation error
- Insufficient prepaid USDC balance (x402 payment required) blocks the request
- Checklist items submitted with incorrect string values are ignored or cause errors

## How this service works

EU AI Act readiness self-assessment for one AI system. Send the system_type and the checklist items you have completed (completed_items); returns the EU AI Act risk level for that system type, a readiness score and the open gaps. entity_id is your label: nothing is looked up about it.

## Output

Returns a readiness score (numeric) for the specified AI entity along with a gap analysis identifying which EU AI Act compliance checklist items are incomplete or deficient. May include UNDETERMINED status for unsupported system types.
