## 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 genesis-token-labs-bank-government-records-lookup-bca01116
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the public FDIC bank record for JPMorgan Chase and tell me its official name, registration ID, country, and whether it's currently active?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to retrieve structured, authoritative public records for banks or government agencies — particularly for compliance workflows, KYB (Know Your Business) checks, counterparty due diligence, or validating routing numbers. It is well-suited for US-centric institutional lookups against FDIC and similar public registries. Prefer this over general web search when structured, machine-readable output with official identifiers is required.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for ambiguous or misspelled institution names
- Invalid or unsupported 'type' parameter returns an error
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) blocks the request
- Incomplete data for lesser-known or foreign institutions
- Stale records if the underlying public registry data is not recently updated

## How this service works

Use when an agent needs structured public bank or government records (institution by name/routing number, agency, or registry entry) for compliance, due diligence, or lead research. Example input: GET /x402/v1/bank-gov-lookup?q=JPMorgan%20Chase&type=bank. Example output: {"query":"JPMorgan Chase","results":[{"name":"JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.","type":"bank","id":"FDIC-628","country":"US","status":"active"}]}

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a results array of matching institution records, each including the institution's official name, type (bank or government), a registry identifier (e.g. FDIC-628), country, and current active/inactive status.
