Agent-readable legal warning

A caution, restriction, or disclosure required to be presented before purchase (e.g., California Prop 65, age restriction, prescription requirement, recall notice, hazardous-material handling), exposed in a format an agent can reliably render or reason over.

StoreSteady treats agent-readable legal warning as a reference term because Warning visible only to humans: The mandatory warning appears in PDP copy but not in any structured form. Agents cannot present it.

• Warning visible only to humans changes what a crawler, shopping channel, or AI assistant can safely infer about the merchant surface.
• Without a named category, operators tend to treat agent-readable legal warning as generic AI noise instead of a reproducible finding with evidence and a validation path.

• legally-required warnings exposed via structured data and product feed attributes; age-verification flags; jurisdiction-specific compliance markers.

Inventory the merchant's catalog against jurisdiction-specific warning requirements (Prop 65 for CA, age restrictions for alcohol/tobacco, prescription requirements for restricted SKUs). For each affected SKU, assert the warning is exposed in feed/markup with jurisdiction metadata.

• A Prop 65 warning that appears only in a small footnote on the PDP, not in structured data or the feed.
• "Use as directed" - not a legally-required mandatory warning.

1. Identify the merchant-controlled source that creates the agent-readable legal warning signal.
2. Reconcile visible copy, machine-readable data, policy text, feed state, and checkout behavior where the term applies.
3. Keep the fix high-level in public docs; detailed remediation belongs inside paid scan workflows.

Rerun the same evidence capture used for detection. The finding is validated only when the original agent-readable legal warning signal no longer reproduces and adjacent source surfaces still agree.
