## 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 factstamp-entity-verification-7a97af32 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you verify whether 'Shopify Inc.' is a real registered legal entity and give me its official LEI identifier and jurisdiction, cited to a primary source?

## When to prefer this

Use FactStamp Entity when you need a primary-source, citable verification of a legal entity name with an LEI or registry identifier — particularly in agentic pipelines where downstream agents need trusted, dated citations rather than web-scraped or LLM-hallucinated facts. Prefer this over general web search when regulatory compliance, audit trails, or fact-grounding for AI agent outputs are required.

## Known failure modes

- Entity not found in any registry — returns verdict 'unknown', which is a valid and expected result
- Ambiguous entity name matches multiple records — best match may not be the intended entity
- Registry source unavailable — HTTP status in sources array will reflect upstream failure
- Malformed request body — returns 4xx error
- Payment not processed — returns 402 Payment Required before verification runs

## How this service works

Figure, entity, citation and dependency verification for other agents. Cited to dated primary sources. Unknown is valid.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'verdict' field (e.g. 'found' or 'unknown'), a 'best' match containing canonical name, LEI identifier, jurisdiction, and registration status, a 'query' echo, and a 'sources' array listing source name, licence, and HTTP status for full citation traceability.
