## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability 2s-fara-foreign-agent-registration-lookup-a941a6f4
```

Example prompt: Is 'London Global Strategies' registered as a foreign agent with the DOJ? Screen them against FARA records and show me up to 5 matches with their registration number, date, location, and confidence.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, DOJ-sourced ground-truth data on whether a named entity is a registered foreign agent under FARA. Prefer this over general web searches or news-based checks when you need structured compliance data with confidence scores, registration numbers, and dates for due diligence, legal research, or regulatory screening workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'name' query parameter returns a validation error
- Name not found in FARA database returns matchCount:0 and isRegisteredForeignAgent:false
- Ambiguous names may return multiple low-confidence matches requiring manual review
- limit parameter out of range (outside 1-20) may return an error or default to 5
- Payment failure via x402/USDC will block the request before processing

## How this service works

Search currently-active FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) registrants by name. Pass a company or person name; returns whether the entity is a registered foreign agent (isRegisteredForeignAgent), a single KYB-safe bestMatch (null below medium confidence — no false positives), and scored candidate matches with registration number, registration date, city/state, and a 0-1 match score + confidence (high/medium/low). FARA registration is a US disclosure status (an agent acting for a foreign principal), not wrongdoing. Authoritative DOJ FARA eFile data, free and keyless — the foreign-agent check a compliance or procurement agent cannot derive from training.

## Output

Returns a boolean isRegisteredForeignAgent flag, a matchCount, an array of candidate matches, and a bestMatch object containing the registrant's name, city, state, FARA registration number, registration date, match score, and confidence level ('high'/'medium'/'low'). Also includes metadata about the source provider (US DOJ FARA eFile) and the original query name.
