## 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 agentstools-entity-search-company-name-disambiguator-0e2f201f
```

Example prompt: Can you search for 'Siemens AG' as a company name — limit to 3 candidates, filtering to Germany — so I can see its LEI, SEC CIK, Wikidata QID, ticker, and match score before I resolve the full entity?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint as a cheap first step before calling a full entity resolution endpoint — when you have only a company name (possibly approximate) and need to identify the correct legal entity and obtain its canonical cross-system identifiers (LEI, CIK, QID, ticker). Prefer this over direct entity resolution when the exact legal name is uncertain or when disambiguating between multiple companies with similar names.

## Known failure modes

- No candidates found if the name is too obscure or misspelled beyond fuzzy tolerance
- Ambiguous results if a very generic name matches many companies (e.g. 'Global Holdings')
- Country filter too restrictive may exclude correct matches
- Rate limiting or payment failure for x402-gated access
- Limit parameter out of range (must be 1–10) returns validation error

## How this service works

Disambiguate a company by name: fuzzy legal-name search returning ranked candidates, each with the ids known for it (Wikidata QID, GLEIF LEI, SEC CIK, ticker), country and a match score. Cheaper first step before entity/resolve.

## Output

A ranked list of up to 10 company candidates matching the fuzzy name query, each containing known cross-linked identifiers (Wikidata QID, GLEIF LEI, SEC CIK, ticker symbol where available), the company's country, and a numeric match score indicating confidence in the match.
