## 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 minor-facing-agent-engagement-harm-gate-53ac4a4c
```

Example prompt: My agent is about to recommend a social feed to a user who failed age verification in a US jurisdiction — can you run the minor-facing engagement harm gate and tell me whether to refuse, throttle, or allow the session?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your agent needs a pre-built, jurisdiction-aware compliance decision for minor-facing content delivery — especially when you need to handle US NM v Meta, EU DSA, and UK OSA simultaneously without implementing the rule logic yourself. It is particularly valuable when content class spans information, entertainment, social feed, shopping, or chat, and you need a single verdicting surface rather than a homegrown policy engine.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required age-verification or content-class inputs may result in a default-refuse verdict or an error
- Unknown jurisdiction codes return an error or fall back to most-restrictive defaults
- Session depth signals that are ambiguous may trigger conservative throttle rather than a precise ruling
- Network or payment failure returns a 402 or 5xx with no verdict
- Rate limits may apply per wallet/session at the provider level

## How this service works

Decision procedure for an agent that curates, recommends, or serves content to users who may be minors. Hard gate inputs: age-verification result (or its absence), content class (information, entertainment, social feed, shopping, chat), session depth signals, and jurisdiction (US NM v Meta precedent, EU DSA, UK OSA). Outputs one of three verdicts per session: refuse (minor + high-engagement-content class), throttle (session cap, recommendation throttling, dark-pattern prohibition, no infinite

## Output

A verdict of 'refuse', 'throttle', or 'allow' for the current session, accompanied by prose explaining the decision procedure, applicable jurisdiction rules (US NM v Meta, EU DSA, UK OSA), session cap values if throttling applies, recommendation-throttling instructions, and dark-pattern prohibition flags. Also includes a service slug, ISO-8601 timestamp, and generation source (llm/reasoning/deterministic).
