## 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-directors-lookup-3ab0a891
```

Example prompt: Who are the current directors of UK company number 00445790? Include any resigned directors and show me up to 20 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, up-to-date director or officer data for a specific UK company registered at Companies House, especially when you need appointment/resignation history, nationality, occupation, or birth month/year. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable, authoritative registry data. Choose role=all when you need secretaries, LLP members, or exotic officer types in addition to directors. Add include_resigned=true when conducting due diligence or building a full governance history.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid company number format (not 1-8 alphanumeric characters) returns INVALID_INPUT before any payment
- Company number not found in Companies House register returns a not-found error
- No officers matching the specified role filter returns an empty items list
- Rate limiting or upstream Companies House API unavailability may cause transient errors
- Whitespace-only or overly long company number strings are rejected as INVALID_INPUT

## How this service works

Return the directors of a UK company from the Companies House register — including corporate and nominee directors — with appointment and resignation dates, nationality, country of residence, occupation, month/year of birth and correspondence address. role=secretary, role=llp_member or role=all widen it; include_resigned adds history. Register-wide officer totals and explicit paging come with every answer. Use when: Who are the directors of this UK company?

## Output

A paginated list of officers matching the role filter, each with full name, officer role, appointment date, optional resignation date, nationality, country of residence, occupation, birth month/year, and correspondence address. The response also includes register-wide officer totals and pagination metadata (has_more, next offset) so the agent can fetch additional pages if needed.

Filtering is applied after the register read, so read page.has_more rather than items.length."
