## 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 portuguese-nif-nipc-validator-e9dca509 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether the Portuguese NIF 123456789 is valid?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, cheap, offline check of a Portuguese NIF or NIPC number without setting up API keys or accounts. It is ideal for pre-validation before submitting data to Portuguese tax authorities, for KYC pipelines handling Portuguese entities, or for cleaning CRM data containing Portuguese tax IDs. Prefer this over a live registry lookup when you only need format/check-digit correctness and not real-time registration status.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'nif' field returns a validation error
- Non-numeric input that cannot be normalized returns ok: false
- NIF with incorrect check digit returns ok: false
- Malformed request body (wrong content type or missing required fields) returns an HTTP error

## How this service works

The OpenRouter for AI-agent tools: one gateway, one wallet, every capability. Built-in tools, forged tools, a global verified business directory and 2,000+ aggregated x402 services, all paid per call in USDC via x402 (HTTP 402). No signup, no API key.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean indicating whether the NIF/NIPC is valid. A true value means the number passes format and check-digit rules; false means it is invalid. No external network call is made — validation is performed offline.
