## 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 govfiles-api-list-available-jurisdictions-f2bb79c6
```

Example prompt: What jurisdiction codes are available in GovFiles right now so I can figure out which ones to use when searching for companies?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint before performing a company search when you need to know which jurisdiction codes are valid filter values. This is the discovery step for scoping GovFiles company queries by region. Prefer this when you need a dynamic, up-to-date list of supported jurisdictions rather than hardcoding state codes.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- Service temporarily unavailable — returns 5xx error
- No jurisdictions currently loaded — may return empty list

## How this service works

List the jurisdiction codes currently loaded and queryable (e.g. us_de, us_ca). Use these to scope a company search with the `jurisdictions` filter.

## Output

A list of jurisdiction code strings (e.g. us_de, us_ca) that are currently loaded and queryable in the GovFiles system, which can be passed as filter values in subsequent company search requests.
