## 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 reservation-deposit-cancellation-policy-gate-k-2so-99e4d1c6
```

Example prompt: Before you confirm this restaurant reservation and pay the $25 deposit, check if the cancellation policy is acceptable — I need to know if it's a hold or a full prepay, what the cancellation window is, whether it's refundable, and whether you should kill the booking if the terms look bad.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an autonomous agent is about to commit to a real-world reservation payment (restaurant, hotel, appointment) and needs a structured, blunt go/no-go decision on whether the deposit and cancellation terms are acceptable before settling funds via x402. Prefer this over generic policy lookup when you need kill criteria, hold-vs-prepay classification, and no-show penalty assessment bundled into a single actionable brief — especially when merchant terms may have shifted between quote and checkout.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not settled — agent receives 402 response requiring USDC payment before content is returned
- Invalid query parameters — unsupported enum values for 'meta' or malformed 'topic' field
- Merchant terms too ambiguous — brief may note inability to classify with confidence
- LLM generation failure — 'ok: false' with no brief returned
- Topic override not recognized — fallback to default reservation deposit procedure

## How this service works

Paid agent-facing brief on Reservation deposit and cancellation policy gate for agents booking real-world services (restaurant tables, appointments, hotel rooms) through x402: classify deposit versus hold versus full prepay, verify cancellation window and refundability before settling, no-show penalty check, hold release semantics, kill criteria when merchant has no cancellation path or changes terms between quote and settle. Blunt decision procedure, not marketing.

## Output

A paid decision-procedure brief containing: deposit classification (hold vs. prepay vs. full prepay), cancellation window evaluation, refundability verdict, no-show penalty assessment, hold release semantics, and explicit kill criteria if the merchant lacks a cancellation path or changed terms between quote and settle. Returned as structured JSON with an 'ok' boolean, prose 'brief' field, model attribution, and ISO-8601 generation timestamp.
