## 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 ceis-cadastro-de-empresas-inid-neas-e-suspensas-brazil-9a1f0851
```

Example prompt: Can you check if the company with CNPJ 12345678000195 is listed on the CEIS — the Brazilian registry of companies and individuals banned from contracting with the government?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify Brazilian public procurement eligibility specifically via the CEIS (Cadastro de Empresas Inidôneas e Suspensas). Prefer this over generic CNPJ lookups when the goal is compliance/sanctions screening rather than company registration data. Ideal for automating supplier onboarding, contract approval workflows, or audit trails in Brazilian public sector contexts. Unlike a full CNPJ situação cadastral lookup, this is focused exclusively on contracting bans and sanctions.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid CPF (not 11 digits or fails checksum) — returns validation error
- Invalid CNPJ (not 14 digits) — returns validation error
- Neither CPF nor CNPJ provided — returns missing required parameter error
- Upstream CGU/Portal Transparência unavailable — may return 503 or timeout
- Entity not found in CEIS — returns empty result (not an error, means no sanction)
- Rate limiting or payment authorization failure — returns 402 or 429

## How this service works

## Output

Returns the CEIS sanction record(s) for the queried CPF or CNPJ, including whether the entity is sanctioned, the type of restriction (suspended/inidônea), the sanctioning authority, the legal basis, and the validity period (start and end dates). Returns an empty or negative result if no sanction exists.
