## 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 eckari-uk-company-charges-b47f1cdd
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the outstanding charges registered against UK company number 04553920 from Companies House — I want to see who holds security over their assets and whether anything is still unsatisfied?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, register-level data on UK company charges directly from Companies House — particularly for due diligence, credit risk assessment, insolvency research, or verifying whether a company's assets are encumbered. Prefer this over general company search endpoints when the specific focus is secured lending, charges, or creditor identification. Use the status filter to narrow to outstanding charges only when you don't need historical satisfied records.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed company number (not matching 1-8 alphanumeric characters) returns INVALID_INPUT before any payment
- Company number not found on Companies House returns an empty or 404-style response
- Company has no charges registered — returns zero counts and empty charge list
- Pagination offset out of range (over 10,000) rejected
- Network or upstream Companies House API unavailability may cause transient errors

## How this service works

Charges registered against a UK company at Companies House — mortgages, debentures and other security — with dates, classification, particulars and the persons entitled. Register-wide outstanding/satisfied/part-satisfied counts lead the answer, and each charge carries a derived is_outstanding because the register records discharge under two status keys. Use when: Establish whether a UK company has outstanding security over its assets, and who holds it.

## Output

Returns register-wide counts of outstanding, satisfied, and part-satisfied charges, plus a paginated list of individual charge records each containing classification, particulars, secured details, dates (created, satisfied), persons entitled, and a derived is_outstanding boolean. Optional 'full' detail mode adds acquired_on, resolved_on, assets_ceased_released, and more_than_four_persons_entitled fields.
