## 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 cortexassay-sec-events-937d9a0d
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the most recent SEC filing events for TSLA — I want scored results since last week, any form type, and flag anything that looks like insider buying or financial distress?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need machine-readable, pre-scored and pre-classified SEC filing events with signal flags (e.g. insider_buy_cluster, distress) rather than raw EDGAR filings. It is especially useful for AI agents that need to programmatically triage SEC activity by relevance score and event type without parsing raw XML. Prefer over direct EDGAR queries when you need computed intelligence layered on top of raw filings, or when you need to filter by signal flags across companies.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent ticker returns empty events array
- Malformed CIK (non-numeric or >10 digits) rejected by schema validation
- min_score outside 0–1 range causes request rejection
- since parameter in non-ISO format may fail to parse
- limit exceeding 200 is rejected; requesting 0 is also invalid
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance insufficient — returns 402 status
- Unknown or unsupported form type in forms parameter may yield zero results

## How this service works

Machine-consumable research and technology intelligence computed from open data (OpenAlex, CC0). Pay per call with x402. Schemas, prices and provenance are machine-readable.

## Output

A JSON object with a timestamp, count, and array of scored SEC filing events. Each event includes event ID, accession number, CIK, ticker, company name, form type, classified event type (e.g. results_of_operations), occurrence timestamp, signal flags array, relevance score (0–1), a payload with extracted items, and a direct link to the SEC filing on EDGAR.
