## 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 sec-edgar-enforcement-phrase-search-c39c8a45 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before we onboard this vendor, search SEC EDGAR filings for the phrase "cease-and-desist" associated with them — filter to 8-K forms filed in the last two years and return all matching filings with their official SEC links.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to screen a counterparty, vendor, or investment target against SEC enforcement and regulatory disclosure history before onboarding, paying, or investing. It is purpose-built for compliance due diligence use cases where a specific legal or regulatory phrase (e.g. 'cease-and-desist', 'Wells notice', 'disgorgement') needs to be matched against the full text of public SEC filings. Prefer it over general web search when you need structured, authoritative results with official sec.gov filing links, CIK numbers, and form metadata.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if the phrase has no matches in EDGAR — returns count:0 with an empty results array
- Malformed or unquoted phrase may return overly broad or no results
- Invalid form type filter causes no filings to be returned
- Date range too narrow yields zero results
- Service unavailability from pythonanywhere hosting returns a 5xx error
- EDGAR full-text search index lag may miss very recent filings

## How this service works

Call before onboarding, screening or paying a counterparty: full-text search of SEC EDGAR filings for an enforcement/regulatory phrase; returns matching filings (company, CIK, form, filed/period, state, SIC, accession + official sec.gov deep-link). Phrase search: quote your term, filter by form/date.

## Output

A JSON object containing: a boolean success flag, timestamp of the search, total match count, the query phrase used, list of form types searched, data source label, and a results array. Each result includes the company name, CIK, SIC code, state of incorporation, SEC form type, filed date, period of report, accession number, and a direct URL to the filing on sec.gov.
