## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability lei-corporate-parent-lookup-80262864
```

Example prompt: Who are the direct and ultimate corporate parents of the entity with LEI 7LTWFZYICNSX8D621K86 — and if no parent is reported, tell me why?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, registry-sourced corporate ownership data for a legal entity identified by its LEI. It is ideal for compliance, KYC, due diligence, and sanctions workflows where you need to trace direct and ultimate parents with official justification for any gaps. Prefer this over web-scraped or commercial firmographic sources when regulatory-grade data provenance matters. It complements sibling endpoints that resolve LEI by name search or return the full entity profile.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed LEI (not 20 characters) returns an error
- LEI not found in the GLEIF registry returns null entity data
- Entity exists but has not reported parent data — returns reasons array explaining non-reporting (e.g. natural person, no known parent, non-consolidating)
- GLEIF source data temporarily unavailable may return degraded flag set to true
- Network or payment failure results in no response

## How this service works

Corporate parents of a legal entity from LEI data: direct parent and ultimate parent, or why none is reported.

## Output

Returns a structured object with the entity's own LEI and legal name, its direct parent (LEI, legal name, country), its ultimate parent (LEI, legal name, country), an as-of date for the data, a verdict and summary string explaining the parent relationship status, a list of reasons if no parent is reported, a source URL pointing to the GLEIF registry record, and flags for degraded data quality or unchecked fields.
