## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability gleif-lei-registry-lookup-5ec15afb
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the official GLEIF LEI record for Deutsche Bank — I need its LEI code, registration status, country, and jurisdiction?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, official GLEIF registry data for an entity — specifically when you have either a 20-character LEI code to resolve or a legal company name to search. Prefer this over general business lookup tools when LEI compliance data (status, jurisdiction) is required for KYC/KYB, financial reporting, or regulatory filings. It complements the sibling EU KYB endpoint when LEI-specific data is the primary need.

## Known failure modes

- No matches found for an obscure or misspelled company name
- Ambiguous name returns multiple matches requiring disambiguation
- Invalid or malformed LEI code format returns empty results
- GLEIF registry data may be stale for recently registered or de-registered entities
- Rate limiting or payment failure for $0.01 USDC per call

## How this service works

Global Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) lookup — official GLEIF registry. POST {query} = a 20-char LEI code OR a company legal name. Returns {matches: [{lei, name, status, country, city, jurisdiction}]}.

## Output

Returns a list of matching entities, each containing: the 20-character LEI code, official legal entity name, registration status (e.g. active/lapsed), country, city, and jurisdiction of the entity as recorded in the GLEIF global registry.
