## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability mdataaccess-decision-makers-lookup-dfcdeb0f
```

Example prompt: Who is the decision maker in the engineering department at Google? I need to find the right person to reach out to.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to quickly identify the key decision maker within a specific business function at a named company, especially in B2B sales, lead generation, or outreach workflows. It is well-suited for AI agents that need pay-per-request access without subscription commitments, and is particularly useful when targeting specific departments rather than general company information.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found in database — returns empty or null decision_maker object
- Business function not recognized — may return no results if the department string doesn't match known categories
- Insufficient data coverage for smaller or private companies — decision_maker may be empty
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 — request blocked if payment not processed
- Malformed query parameters — 400 error if company or function fields are missing

## How this service works

MDataAccess gives AI agents pay-per-request access to business, people, company, lead, and web data through a machine-native x402 API.

## Output

A JSON object containing the company name, the queried business function, and a decision_maker object with profile data for the primary decision maker in that department at the specified company, along with a provider field identifying the data source as mdataaccess.
