Evaluate a media buy against acceptance policy
Classify whether a pending media buy is definitely on policy, definitely not on policy, or needs human approval. The evaluator only recommends automatic approval when the buy references quoted storefront products, contains advertiser evidence, and does not match active acceptance-policy review or block rules. This endpoint does not record a decision.

Evaluate a media buy against acceptance policy
Policy evaluation for a storefront media-buy approval queue entry. This classifies whether the buy is auto-approval eligible or should escalate to a human.

definitely_on_policy means this buy is eligible for automatic approval. needs_human_approval is the safe escalation default. definitely_not_on_policy means the payload clearly conflicts with acceptance policy, but the recommended action can still be escalation rather than automatic rejection because the storefront may have already quoted the product.
definitely_on_policy, definitely_not_on_policy, needs_human_approval Recommended workflow action. auto_approve = definitely on policy, eligible to forward without review. escalate_to_human = the safe default, queue for an operator. auto_reject = the buy clearly violates an explicit, deterministically-matched acceptance-policy rule (e.g. a category the operator wrote in unambiguous block language); it is decision-support only — the gate still queues these to a human unless an operator has opted a storefront into live auto-reject. LLM-judged conflicts never yield auto_reject; they escalate.
auto_approve, escalate_to_human, auto_reject When recommendation is auto_reject, an evaluator-generated explanation naming the acceptance-policy terms the buy matched (drawn from the operator's policy). Null otherwise.
