## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-strale-io-920b9daf
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether Bitstamp is authorized under EU MiCA regulation — I want to know its authorization status, what services it's licensed for, its home country, and whether it has passporting rights?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify a crypto company's regulatory standing under the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, specifically whether they are on ESMA's official CASP register. Prefer this over generic company lookup endpoints when the question is specifically about MiCA authorization, passporting rights, or EU-licensed crypto services.

## Known failure modes

- Entity not found in ESMA register — returns no match or empty result
- Ambiguous entity name matching multiple entries — may return multiple candidates
- ESMA register temporarily unavailable — upstream data source error
- Missing required entity_name parameter — returns validation error
- LEI format invalid — returns bad request error

## How this service works

Check if a crypto-asset service provider (CASP/VASP) is authorized under the EU MiCA regulation. Searches ESMA's official register of authorized CASPs. Returns authorization status, licensed services, home country, and passporting rights.

## Output

Returns whether the entity is authorized under MiCA, the list of licensed crypto-asset services, the home member state, and any EU passporting rights. Sourced from ESMA's official CASP register.
