## 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 limitguard-risk-score-entity-name-country-11da94c7 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you get me a quick risk score for Acme Trading Ltd based in Germany — just the lightweight check, no full scan needed?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, lightweight risk signal for an entity without triggering a full compliance scan. Ideal for pre-screening counterparties, agents, or vendors before committing to deeper due diligence. Choose this over the full entity check when speed and cost efficiency matter more than comprehensive data coverage.

## Known failure modes

- Missing entity_name or country returns a validation error
- Invalid or unsupported ISO country code returns a bad request error
- Unknown or very obscure entity names may return a default or inconclusive score
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) results in a 402 response
- Rate limiting may occur under high call volume
