## 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 brazilian-public-sanctions-lookup-ceis-cnep-cepim-via-x402-1d701ec3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Check the Brazilian federal sanction registries (CEIS, CNEP, and CEPIM) for CNPJ 12.345.678/0001-95 and tell me if there are any active sanctions, fines, or leniency agreements against that company.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically verify whether a Brazilian legal entity (company) is sanctioned, blacklisted, or penalized by Brazilian federal authorities, particularly for compliance screening, vendor due diligence, or anti-corruption checks. It is the right choice when you have a CNPJ and need structured, per-registry results from CEIS, CNEP, CEPIM, and leniency agreement databases in a single call. Prefer this over manual portal lookups when building automated compliance workflows or screening pipelines that pay per query.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed CNPJ — API returns an error if the document does not conform to CNPJ format (14 digits, with or without punctuation)
- CPF (individual person document) submitted — endpoint only accepts CNPJ (legal entities); CPF inputs are explicitly rejected
- CNPJ not found in any registry — returns empty lists with total counts of zero
- Payment failure via x402 — if USDC payment is not settled, the call is rejected before querying
- Upstream Brazilian government portal unavailable — may result in timeout or error response
- Rate limiting or payment protocol errors from x402 facilitator

## How this service works

Consultas a dados públicos brasileiros, pagas por chamada em USDC via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with four sections: CEIS (National Registry of Ineligible and Suspended Companies), CNEP (National Registry of Punished Companies), CEPIM (Federal Entities Private Registry), and Leniency Agreements. Each section includes a list of sanction records with details such as sanction code, type, start/end dates, sanctioning body (including state and sphere), legal basis, fine amount (where applicable), process number, publication date, and company identifiers (CNPJ, corporate name, trade name). Total counts per registry are also returned.
