## 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 preflight-eu-ai-act-obligations-lookup-6b491c1d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Which articles of the EU AI Act mention transparency and user information obligations for a deployer operating a high-risk AI system? Pull the relevant article headings and EUR-Lex links.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs precise, citation-ready references to specific EU AI Act articles for a given actor role and obligation area, rather than a general summary or compliance assessment. Ideal for legal research, compliance documentation, and regulatory gap analysis where pinned-corpus accuracy and EUR-Lex links matter. Prefer over general LLM knowledge when authoritative article-level citations are required.

## Known failure modes

- No matching articles found for the given role/topic/risk_tier combination — returns empty list
- Invalid enum value for role, topic, or risk_tier — returns validation error
- Corpus version unavailable or service outage — returns 5xx error
- Payment not processed (x402 protocol failure) — returns 402 before query is executed

## How this service works

Call when you need to know which articles of the EU AI Act mention a given obligation for a given role (provider, deployer, importer, distributor, authorised representative). Returns the matching articles with headings, excerpts and EUR-Lex links from a pinned corpus version. Retrieval over the official text: it does not classify your system or assess compliance.

## Output

A list of matching EU AI Act articles, each with an article number, heading, a relevant text excerpt, and a direct EUR-Lex link, drawn from a pinned corpus version of the official text. Does not assess compliance or classify the querying system.
