## 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 records-for-agents-contractor-trade-licenses-disciplinary-orders-lookup-66d91d37
```

Example prompt: Can you check the TDLR disciplinary records for electrician John Martinez — I want to know if he has any board actions or administrative orders against his license before we hire him?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need to check TDLR enforcement and discipline history — administrative orders, penalties, and sanctions — for Texas electricians and A/C contractors. Prefer this over the general license search endpoint when the goal is compliance vetting, litigation research, or due diligence on a specific contractor's disciplinary record rather than just verifying licensure status.

## Known failure modes

- No matching orders found for the given name or license number (empty result set)
- Ambiguous name match — fuzzy matching may return multiple respondents requiring disambiguation
- TDLR data lag — disciplinary records reflect the last bulk-file fetch date, not real-time court records
- License number not found in TDLR dataset if jurisdiction or license type is outside TDLR scope
- Rate limit or payment failure if x402 payment is not properly handled

## How this service works

US contractor and trade license verification for AI agents: Texas TDLR electrician and A/C contractor/technician rosters, Florida DBPR construction licenses, Oregon CCB construction contractor licenses, Connecticut eLicense professional/occupational credentials, and TDLR disciplinary/administrative orders. Search by name, license number, state, or profession; verify a business or person against the roster with fuzzy name matching; look up board discipline history. Coverage is honest, not exhaustive: TDLR bulk files carry no license-status column (expiration date is the only status proxy we have, reported as such), DBPR's file excludes null-and-void/ delinquent/involuntarily-inactive licenses upstream, and Oregon CCB likewise has no status column (see docs/licensing.md); Connecticut eLicense DOES carry real status/active columns, reported verbatim. Every record carries full provenance (source, source URL, fetched-at, record hash) and every response includes as_of freshness — built for agent-driven verification and compliance workflows.

## Output

Returns a list of disciplinary and administrative orders from the Texas TDLR matching the query, including respondent name, license number, order date, violation type, penalty imposed, and full provenance metadata (source, source URL, fetched-at timestamp, record hash) plus an as_of freshness indicator showing when the underlying data was last retrieved.
