## Action policy

- A trip request is not a reservation, payment, or confirmed booking.
- Submit a trip request only after the traveler reviews the details and explicitly consents.
- Do not claim live guide availability unless it is returned by a future availability endpoint.
- Do not describe trip-format records as bookable products or quote prices from them.
- Cite the canonical human-readable planning page when using a decision guide's conclusions.
- Use an Idempotency-Key when retrying a POST request.
- Current Alaska Department of Fish and Game regulations supersede all seasonal planning guidance.
