## 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 pontofato-cnpj-lookup-da390411
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the Brazilian company registered under CNPJ 11.222.333/0001-81 and tell me their legal name, address, registration status, and whether they have any sanctions?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative Brazilian company data directly from Receita Federal sources, including sanctions screening and government contract data in a single call. Prefer this over generic company search APIs when the CNPJ is already known and you need structured compliance-grade data (registry status, sanctions, tax standing) rather than just basic firmographic information. The per-call micropayment model (x402) makes it suitable for on-demand lookups in automated agent workflows without subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed CNPJ returns an error (CNPJ must be 14 digits, with or without punctuation)
- CNPJ not found in the Receita Federal registry returns a not-found response
- Payment failure or insufficient balance results in HTTP 402 and no data returned
- Temporary unavailability of upstream Brazilian government data sources may cause incomplete results
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded may block repeated rapid calls
