## 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 datasig-ftc-enforcement-signal-012a1455
```

Example prompt: Check DataSig for any active FTC enforcement actions against Acme Logistics — they're in the freight and transportation sector and I need to know if I should flag them as a vendor risk.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time FTC regulatory enforcement intelligence for a specific company as part of supply chain due diligence, vendor onboarding, or ongoing supplier risk monitoring. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, agent-actionable signals with clear risk flags rather than unstructured news results. Best suited for procurement agents, compliance workflows, and vendor risk platforms that need machine-readable regulatory status per call.

## Known failure modes

- Company name not found — returns no signal or empty result
- Missing required 'company' query parameter — returns validation error
- Payment failure via x402 micropayment — returns 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout if upstream regulatory data source is temporarily unavailable
- Ambiguous company name matching multiple entities — may return results for wrong entity

## How this service works

DataSig delivers live supply chain action intelligence to AI agents via x402 micropayments. Tariff changes, port congestion, blank sailing risk, supplier distress. Pay per call in USDC on Base. No API key.

## Output

A JSON object containing a signal field (e.g. FTC_ACTION_DETECTED) and an agent_action field (e.g. FLAG_VENDOR_RISK), indicating whether the queried company currently has an active FTC enforcement action and what risk action the AI agent should take.
