## 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 legal-compliance-profile-lookup-via-x402-micropayment-cedac543
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full legal and regulatory profile for 'Acme Technologies Inc.' — I need their OFAC screening status, any SEC filings, and patent records, up to 15 results per category?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a per-call, pay-as-you-go compliance and legal profile lookup for a named business entity — especially when you need OFAC sanctions screening, SEC regulatory data, or patent records without committing to a subscription. Ideal for AI agents that need to verify counterparties or vendors on demand. Prefer alternatives if you need bulk screening, real-time sanctions list updates, or deep document retrieval rather than a summarized profile.

## Known failure modes

- Entity name not found or too ambiguous — returns empty result set
- Invalid or non-existent CIK or QID — lookup fails or returns no match
- Rate limiting or payment failure — x402 payment not accepted, endpoint returns 402
- Agency slug not recognized — no regulatory results returned for that filter
- Result limit out of allowed range (1–25) — request rejected with validation error
- Endpoint returns success:false with empty result if no data found for entity
