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 technical-manuals-scope-boundary-audit-37c0298e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before fetching the maintenance procedure, check whether these 5 steps fall within scope for manual ID 'SVC-4400', edition digest 'abc123def', and allowed model IDs ['X220','X230'] — data class is public and metadata is nonpersonal.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs to pre-validate that a set of procedure steps and model variants fall within a specific technical manual's edition scope before attempting retrieval — especially in regulated or multi-model environments where out-of-scope access must be blocked. Prefer this over generic search or retrieval endpoints when scope boundary enforcement is required upfront and offline validation of nonpersonal metadata is sufficient.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized manualId returns an error or empty scope match
- Edition digest mismatch causes rejection of the entire audit request
- Exceeded maxItems (32) for steps or allowedModelIds causes schema validation failure
- nonpersonalMetadata not set to true causes request rejection
- dataClass value outside allowed enum returns validation error
- Empty steps array (below minItems of 1) causes bad request error

## How this service works

Filter supplied procedure metadata against allowed model variants and exact manual/edition scope before retrieval. Does not determine equipment suitability or authorize an operation. Offline typed nonpersonal metadata only. Result retention: 24 hours; minimal receipt metadata: 90 days.

## Output

Returns an audit result indicating whether the supplied procedure steps fall within the allowed model variant and manual/edition scope boundaries. Includes per-step or aggregate pass/fail status, model ID matching outcomes, and edition digest validation — without determining equipment suitability or authorizing any operation. Results are retained for 24 hours; minimal receipt metadata for 90 days.
