## 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 manylives-sms-pre-send-compliance-check-88da6318 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I send this marketing text — '50% off roof repairs this week! Book now' — from Apex Roofing to a customer in America/Chicago at 10:30 PM tonight with no prior consent on file and no DNC check done, can you run a compliance check to see if it's safe to send?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint whenever an AI agent or automated system is about to send an outbound SMS and needs to verify regulatory compliance before transmission — especially for marketing or automated messages subject to TCPA, FCC, and FTC rules. Prefer this over generic legal lookup tools because it reasons specifically about the combination of message content, consent level, relationship, timing, and automation status in a single structured call. Ideal for sales automation agents, SMS campaign orchestrators, or any agent that dynamically generates outbound texts.

## Known failure modes

- Message classified as telephone solicitation without required written consent → listed in fails
- Send time outside 8am–9pm recipient local time → timing fail with detail
- Seller/business not identified in message → fail for missing identification
- No opt-out instructions present in marketing message → warning or fail
- Ambiguous or missing consent context → conservative failure defaults
- Invalid IANA timezone string → likely defaults to UTC or returns error
- Malformed send_at timestamp → may default to current time
