## 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 clearcheck-investment-adviser-sec-registration-lookup-901bc139
```

Example prompt: Can you check if Vanguard Personal Advisor Services is SEC-registered and whether they have any disclosures on file? Search both firm and individual registers.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify the SEC registration status of an investment adviser — whether a firm or an individual — and check for any regulatory disclosures. It is ideal for due diligence workflows, compliance screening, or helping a user vet a financial professional before engaging their services. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, authoritative data from SEC IAPD with a clear verdict and disclosure flag.

## Known failure modes

- No match found for the given name or CRD number — returns empty arrays with zero counts
- Ambiguous name returns multiple results — agent should use CRD number for precision
- SEC IAPD data unavailable or timeout — upstream dependency failure
- Invalid query parameters (missing required 'name' field) — returns validation error
- Name misspelling leads to false negatives — spelling variants may not surface the correct record

## How this service works

Is this investment adviser SEC-registered? Firm or individual, active status, and whether disclosures exist.

## Output

Returns a structured response with matched firms and/or individuals including their name, CRD number, SEC number, registration status, address, branch count, other known names, and a boolean indicating whether disclosures exist. Also includes aggregate counts (total matches, active, with disclosures), the data source, a plain-language verdict, a disclaimer, and a timestamp of when data was retrieved.
