## 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 johto-kyb-know-your-business-lookup-9060f0e4
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the KYB profile for Tesla — I need their LEI, SEC CIK, EIN, incorporation details, and latest filing info from both GLEIF and SEC?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative legal entity identity data combining both GLEIF LEI registry and SEC EDGAR records in a single call. Ideal for KYB workflows, vendor onboarding, compliance checks, or any scenario requiring verified corporate identifiers (LEI, CIK, EIN). Prefer over manual GLEIF or SEC EDGAR lookups when you need cross-referenced data from both sources. Best when you have a company name, ticker, CIK, or LEI as a starting point.

## Known failure modes

- No match found — returns empty data array with rows=0, and you are not charged
- Invalid LEI format — rejected by pattern validation before call
- Invalid CIK format — must be numeric up to 10 digits
- Ambiguous company name — returns top 3 GLEIF matches plus SEC match, agent must disambiguate
- GLEIF or SEC data source temporarily unavailable — may return partial results from one source only
- Rate limit or payment failure — call not executed, no charge
