For AI Assistants and Agents

The cosmetic assess_hair_needs capability is live through four doors that all share one canonical cosmetic engine. Agents can discover the capability, read the schema, and call it — with cosmetic-only safeguards built in, so it never makes medical diagnoses and never triggers emails, purchases, or other consequential actions.
