Meta's AI Shopping Agent Has Been Banned from Amazon.com

ADEQUATE ASSESSMENT
The agent was built to act autonomously on behalf of users. Amazon has determined the agent is not a user. The resulting category error is currently unresolved. The form for disputing the block requires a human to submit it. Meta is looking into this.
