## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability sec-company-search-by-name-725341b2
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the SEC CIK number and ticker symbol for Nvidia by searching for it by name?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a company name (or partial name) and need to resolve it to a SEC CIK number or stock ticker for further SEC data lookups. It is the right starting point before querying filings, financials, or company profiles that require a CIK or ticker as input. Prefer this over manual EDGAR search when automating company identification pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- No matches found for an obscure or misspelled company name
- Ambiguous partial name returns many low-confidence matches
- Private or non-US companies not listed in SEC registry return no results
- Degraded mode may return stale or incomplete data
- Very generic search terms (e.g. 'American') may return too many results to be actionable
