## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability gleif-lei-lookup-4326b7b5
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the GLEIF record for LEI code 5493001KJTIIGC8Y1R12 and tell me the company's legal name, registration status, and jurisdiction?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, GLEIF-sourced legal entity data for a specific LEI code — ideal for KYC, AML, regulatory compliance, trade confirmation, or counterparty verification workflows. Prefer this over scraping company registries when you need a standardized, globally recognized identifier with structured output. Choose this when you already have the LEI code and need to resolve it to entity details, rather than when you're searching for an LEI by company name.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed LEI code returns a 404 or error response
- LEI exists but is lapsed or transferred — record may be returned but status reflects inactive state
- GLEIF upstream API unavailability causes timeout or 5xx error
- LEI code with incorrect check digits may be rejected before lookup
- Network or payment (x402) failure prevents the request from completing
