## 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 oromi-uk-business-name-check-81dc5968
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether the company name 'Bluebird Roofing Ltd' is available to register in the UK — i.e. is there already a Companies House entry with that name?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, automated check of UK company name availability against the Companies House register before proceeding with incorporation or brand naming. It is ideal for AI agent workflows that need to programmatically validate a proposed name without a human manually searching the Companies House website. It is machine-payable per call via x402/USDC, making it suitable for high-volume or automated formation pipelines. Prefer this over manual Companies House searches when building agent-driven business formation, legal compliance, or brand screening tools.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'name' query parameter returns a validation error
- Names with special characters or non-ASCII text may return unexpected results
- The verdict reflects a point-in-time snapshot and may not reflect very recent registrations
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in a 402 response before the lookup is attempted
- Very long or unusual name strings may cause parsing issues

## 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 containing a verdict (e.g. 'likely_available' or 'taken'), an array of exact matches found in the Companies House register, and an echo of the proposed name that was checked.
