## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability oromi-eu-vat-number-verification-5fadc32b
```

Example prompt: Can you verify whether the EU VAT number IE6388047V for Ireland is valid and tell me what company name it's registered to?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically verify EU VAT numbers at low cost ($0.01/call) within an AI agent workflow, particularly for supplier onboarding, invoice validation, or compliance screening. It is well-suited for agents that require pay-per-call micro-payment semantics via the x402 protocol and need a lightweight, machine-payable alternative to integrating directly with VIES or national VAT registries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed VAT number returns valid:false with no registered name
- Unsupported or incorrect 2-letter country code may return an error or invalid result
- VAT number with country prefix included may fail validation — strip the prefix before submitting
- Network or upstream registry unavailability may cause timeout or 5xx error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request from executing

## How this service works

Machine-payable APIs for AI agents, paid per call in USDC via the x402 protocol: UK business data (Companies House), UK property market data (HM Land Registry), website agent-readiness audits, and crypto market context.

## Output

A JSON object with a boolean 'valid' field indicating whether the VAT number is registered, and a 'registered_name' string containing the official business name on record (e.g. {"valid": true, "registered_name": "GOOGLE IRELAND LIMITED"}).
