## 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 agent402-uk-companies-house-profile-lookup-b2ce83e2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Companies House profile for UK company number 12345678 — I need the registered name, status, address, SIC codes, and when their accounts are next due?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs quick, structured UK company profile data (name, status, address, SIC, accounts due) by company number and a lightweight cached result is acceptable. Prefer over scraping Companies House directly or using LLM approximation. Note this is not an official CH service — for compliance-critical or real-time official data, use the Companies House API directly.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent company number returns an error or empty result
- Cached data may be slightly stale compared to live Companies House register
- Missing server-side COMPANIES_HOUSE_API_KEY causes authentication failure
- Rate limits or upstream CH API outages may cause service unavailability
- Non-UK company numbers are not supported

## How this service works

Agent402 UK. Companies House profile lite (name, status, address, SIC, accounts due). Cached public register data — not an official CH service. Requires server COMPANIES_HOUSE_API_KEY. Query number=.

## Output

A lite company profile object containing the official registered company name, current status (e.g. active, dissolved), registered address, SIC code(s) describing the business activity, and the date by which next accounts are due at Companies House.
