## 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 youtube-ai-persona-monetization-risk-checker-ba8181b7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check this YouTube script for AI persona and monetization risks? The script says 'Hi everyone, I'm Dr. Sarah Chen with 20 years in nutrition — today we cover supplements.' — it uses an AI-generated presenter on a health topic, so flag any YouTube policy violations that could get us demonetized.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call compliance pre-check for YouTube scripts before publishing — especially for channels using AI presenters, health/finance/legal sensitive topics, or templated content at scale. Prefer this over generic content moderation APIs when YouTube-specific monetization policy rules and AI persona detection are the core concern.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty script field returns an error
- Ambiguous or very short scripts may produce low-confidence or empty rule matches
- Scripts in non-English languages may yield incomplete detection
- Policy rules may not reflect the very latest YouTube guideline updates
- False positives on legitimate human-expert content if ai_persona flag is set incorrectly

## How this service works

Pay-per-call tools for people building AI agents: live web search and page contents, point-in-time crypto market data and news for backtests (no lookahead), verifiable track records of 1,000 crypto strategies locked on the Base network, company profiles, quick AI and batch prices. Ask us to turn a public website into a JSON endpoint. Pay per call, no account, free trial.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a list of flagged YouTube policy rules (each with a description of why it was flagged and a boolean), a top-level monetization_risk boolean, and an array of detected human expert claims found in the script that may violate AI persona transparency rules.
